After Action Report
The Jazz squeaked past the Bulls 94-93. The Bulls couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Jazz. The Jazz carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; Jazz's veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. Whispers of a Bulls locker-room rift aren't helping. Bulls' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Bulls · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Jazz · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
