After Action Report
The Hornets ran roughshod over the Jazz 124-97. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hornets cashed in. The Hornets owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Hornets looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode. The Hornets bench chemistry carried them. The Jazz rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Garbage time started early.
