After Action Report

In Golden State, the Warriors outlasted the Jazz 105-87. The Jazz couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Warriors. Fresh off a statement win, the Warriors stayed locked in; the Warriors pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Jazz looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Jazz rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Warriors · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Jazz · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Jazz · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Jazz · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
