After Action Report
The Jazz held off the Hornets 124-118. The tempo dragged the Hornets into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Hornets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Hornets pushed the pace until the other side broke. Jazz's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
