After Action Report

In Utah, the Jazz blew the doors off the Clippers 118-96. The tempo dragged the Clippers into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Jazz carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; the Jazz pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Jazz locker room is humming, and it showed. Jazz's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It broke open after the break.

What tipped it

  • Jazz · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • Jazz · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Clippers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Clippers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
