After Action Report
The Hornets snuck past the Jazz 117-114. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hornets cashed in. Hornets' outside barrage was a constant threat; Jazz's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Hornets bench chemistry carried them. Hornets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
- Jazz · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
