After Action Report
The Jazz pulled away from the Nuggets 109-97. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Jazz played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; Nuggets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Jazz bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Jazz per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
