After Action Report

In Utah, the Jazz ran roughshod over the Suns 125-82. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Jazz cashed in. The Jazz answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Suns owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Jazz locker room is humming, and it showed. Suns' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It was over by halftime.

What tipped it

  • Jazz · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Jazz · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Suns · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
