After Action Report

The Bulls blew the doors off the Jazz 124-79. The Jazz had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Bulls owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Bulls' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. The Jazz looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Jazz's per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It broke open after the break.
