After Action Report

In Utah, the Jazz buried the Kings 133-105. The breakneck pace played right into Jazz's hands. Jazz's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; fresh off a statement win, the Jazz stayed locked in. Jazz's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • Jazz · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Jazz · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Kings · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Kings · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
  • Kings · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
