After Action Report

The Jazz survived the Bulls 119-114. The tempo dragged the Bulls into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Fresh off a statement win, the Jazz stayed locked in; Jazz's Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Jazz bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Jazz per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
