After Action Report

In Detroit, the Jazz survived the Pistons 103-98. Jazz's offense had its way with the Pistons. The Jazz carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Pistons' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Jazz bench chemistry carried them. Jazz's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Pistons · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Jazz · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Jazz · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
