After Action Report
The Jazz pulled away from the Cavaliers 99-81. Jazz's offense had its way with the Cavaliers. The Jazz owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Cavaliers' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Jazz locker room is humming, and it showed. Cavaliers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Jazz · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Jazz · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
