After Action Report
In Utah, the Jazz ran roughshod over the SuperSonics 106-83. The SuperSonics couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Jazz. The Jazz owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Jazz ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire. The Jazz locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's SuperSonics utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Jazz · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
