After Action Report
In New Orleans, the Jazz stunned the Hornets 123-110. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Jazz cashed in. The Jazz bent the defense out of shape from deep; Hornets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Jazz's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hornets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
