After Action Report
The Trail Blazers held off the Jazz 95-89. Ugly basketball, but the Trail Blazers did just enough. Shots just aren't falling for the Trail Blazers lately; Trail Blazers' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Jazz looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Tonight's Jazz utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- 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.
