After Action Report
The Jazz handled the Hornets 107-95. Ugly basketball, but the Jazz did just enough. The Jazz carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; the Jazz bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Jazz locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Jazz per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

- Jazz · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Jazz · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
