After Action Report
In New Orleans, the Hornets took care of the Jazz 129-112. The Jazz had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Jazz's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Jazz owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Hornets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Jazz · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Jazz · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
