After Action Report
The Jazz held off the Hornets 94-85. The Hornets couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Jazz. The Jazz carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; the Hornets couldn't shake the cold spell. The Jazz locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Hornets utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Style points be damned.

- Jazz · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Jazz · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
