After Action Report
The Jazz blew the doors off the Hornets 117-96. Jazz's scorers couldn't be contained. Second-chance points piled up for the Jazz; the Jazz carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Jazz bench chemistry carried them. The Hornets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Jazz · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- 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.
