After Action Report
In a track meet, the Jazz survived the Trail Blazers 118-114. Jazz controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. The Jazz came in with something to prove after a loss; Jazz's outside barrage was a constant threat. The Jazz locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Jazz per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.
