After Action Report
The Jazz squeaked past the Trail Blazers 115-113. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Jazz's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; fresh off a statement win, the Trail Blazers stayed locked in. 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.
What tipped it
