After Action Report

The Celtics survived the Jazz 106-103. The Jazz had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Celtics' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends; Celtics' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Jazz looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Jazz's per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.

What tipped it

  • Celtics · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Celtics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • 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.
