After Action Report
In Utah, the Jazz took care of the Trail Blazers 126-115. The breakneck pace played right into Jazz's hands. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Jazz; Trail Blazers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Jazz locker room is humming, and it showed. Jazz's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
