After Action Report

In Utah, the Kings pulled away from the Jazz 103-92. Kings' scorers couldn't be contained. Shots just aren't falling for the Kings lately; Kings' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. Whispers of a Jazz locker-room rift aren't helping. Tonight's Jazz utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Jazz · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Jazz · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Kings · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
