After Action Report
The Hornets snuck past the Jazz 104-101. Ugly basketball, but the Hornets did just enough. Hornets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Hornets ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed. Survive-and-advance type win.
