After Action Report
The Jazz buried the Hornets 126-87. The Jazz got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Jazz owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Jazz pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Jazz locker room is humming, and it showed. Jazz's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.
