After Action Report
The Jazz outlasted the Nuggets 106-92. Jazz torched the Nuggets on the offensive end. Second-chance points piled up for the Jazz; the Jazz played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. The Jazz bench chemistry carried them. Nuggets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
