After Action Report
In Utah, the Jazz survived the Trail Blazers 117-116 in overtime. The Trail Blazers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Jazz couldn't shake the cold spell; Jazz's Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Trail Blazers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Jazz · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Trail Blazers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
