After Action Report

The Jazz outlasted the Kings 108-96. The Kings couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Jazz. Jazz's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Jazz came in with something to prove after a loss. The Jazz locker room is humming, and it showed. The Kings rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Survive-and-advance type win.

What tipped it

  • Jazz · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Jazz · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Jazz · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
