After Action Report
The Jazz handled the Trail Blazers 133-120. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Jazz cashed in. The Jazz carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; Trail Blazers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Jazz locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Jazz per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
