After Action Report

In Utah, the Jazz outlasted the Rockets 110-103. The Jazz won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Jazz's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Jazz carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Jazz locker room is humming, and it showed. Jazz's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.
