After Action Report

In Utah, the Jazz blew the doors off the Kings 123-103. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Jazz cashed in. The Jazz answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Kings ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire. The Jazz locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Jazz per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Never a doubt in this one.
