After Action Report
The Jazz ran roughshod over the Suns 116-92. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Jazz cashed in. The Suns carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Suns' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Jazz bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Jazz per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. It broke open after the break.
What tipped it
