The Jazz buried the Hornets 131-111. Jazz's scorers couldn't be contained. The Jazz answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Jazz's Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Early returns: the Jazz per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
