After Action Report
The Hornets buried the Jazz 122-97. Hornets' scorers couldn't be contained. Hornets' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Jazz's Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Hornets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Jazz · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
