After Action Report

The Jazz survived the Hornets 120-117 in overtime. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Jazz cashed in. Jazz's skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends; the Hornets owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Whispers of a Hornets locker-room rift aren't helping.
