After Action Report

The Jazz ran roughshod over the Mavericks 133-101. The tempo dragged the Mavericks into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Jazz's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Jazz carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one. The Jazz locker room is humming, and it showed. Jazz's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.

What tipped it

  • Jazz · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Jazz · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • Jazz · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
