After Action Report
The Jazz ran roughshod over the Bulls 106-80. The Jazz won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Jazz carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Jazz bench chemistry carried them. The Bulls rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Bulls · 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.
