After Action Report
The Jazz buried the Nets 100-74. The Jazz won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Jazz's shot-blockers turned the paint into a no-fly zone; Jazz's veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Nets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Nets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Jazz · Block Party Multiple shot-blockers turn the paint into a no-fly zone.
- Nets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Nets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
