After Action Report
The Hornets held off the Jazz 121-114. The breakneck pace played right into Hornets' hands. Hornets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Hornets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Hornets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
