After Action Report

In New Orleans, the Jazz handled the Hornets 117-107. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Jazz cashed in. Jazz's veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes; Hornets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Jazz bench chemistry carried them. Jazz's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.

What tipped it

  • Hornets · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
  • Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Jazz · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
