After Action Report

The Hornets buried the Jazz 130-77. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hornets cashed in. Fresh off a statement win, the Hornets stayed locked in; Jazz's skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Hornets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. It was over by halftime.

What tipped it

  • 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.
  • Jazz · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Jazz · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
