After Action Report
The Jazz upended the Celtics 131-121. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Jazz cashed in. Second-chance points piled up for the Celtics; the Celtics couldn't shake the cold spell. The Jazz bench chemistry carried them. Jazz's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. An upset for the books.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Celtics · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Jazz · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
