After Action Report
In New Orleans, the Jazz outlasted the Hornets 101-95. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Jazz answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Jazz's defenders refused to give up clean looks. Whispers of a Hornets locker-room rift aren't helping. The Hornets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Jazz · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
