After Action Report

The Jazz outlasted the Wizards 122-104. Jazz controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Jazz's Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Wizards' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. 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.
