After Action Report
The Hornets ran roughshod over the Jazz 144-112. The Jazz had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Jazz's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; shots just aren't falling for the Jazz lately. Whispers of a Jazz locker-room rift aren't helping. Hornets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- Jazz · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Jazz · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Jazz · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
