After Action Report
The Hornets ran roughshod over the Jazz 129-104. The Jazz had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Hornets owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Hornets' outside barrage was a constant threat. Whispers of a Jazz locker-room rift aren't helping. Hornets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
What tipped it
- Jazz · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Hornets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
