After Action Report

In New Jersey, the Nets survived the Jazz 115-112. The breakneck pace played right into Nets' hands. Nets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; shots just aren't falling for the Jazz lately. The Jazz looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Jazz's per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Jazz · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Jazz · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
