After Action Report
The Celtics ran roughshod over the Jazz 121-92. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Celtics cashed in. The Jazz played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; Jazz's Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. The Jazz rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It broke open after the break.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Jazz · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
