After Action Report

In Utah, the Hornets edged the Jazz 107-101. The Jazz couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Hornets. Fresh off a statement win, the Hornets stayed locked in; the Jazz answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Hornets bench chemistry carried them. Jazz's per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Survive-and-advance type win.
