After Action Report

The Jazz ran roughshod over the Pacers 124-93. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Jazz cashed in. The Jazz owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Jazz's old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Jazz locker room is humming, and it showed. Pacers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Garbage time started early.

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.
  • Pacers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
