After Action Report
The Hornets buried the Jazz 126-94. The Jazz had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Hornets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Jazz bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Hornets bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Hornets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Garbage time started early.
