After Action Report

In Utah, the Jazz outlasted the Wizards 88-79. Jazz controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. The Jazz couldn't shake the cold spell; Jazz's outside barrage was a constant threat. Style points be damned.

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.
  • Wizards · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Wizards · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Wizards · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
