After Action Report

In New Orleans, the Jazz downed the Hornets 110-91. The tempo dragged the Hornets into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Hornets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Hornets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Jazz bench chemistry carried them. Jazz's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
