After Action Report

The Jazz outlasted the Raptors 117-102. Every possession went the Jazz way. The Jazz carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Raptors' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. The Jazz bench chemistry carried them. Jazz's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.

What tipped it

  • Raptors · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Raptors · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Jazz · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Jazz · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
