After Action Report
The Jazz buried the Hornets 117-97. The Hornets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Shots just aren't falling for the Jazz lately; Jazz's outside barrage was a constant threat. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- Jazz · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Jazz · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Hornets · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
