After Action Report

In Utah, the Jazz fended off the Kings 106-98. Ugly basketball, but the Jazz did just enough. Jazz's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Jazz's defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Jazz locker room is humming, and it showed. Kings' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Survive-and-advance type win.

What tipped it

  • Jazz · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Jazz · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
