After Action Report
The Jazz rolled past the Hornets 127-103. The Jazz got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Jazz's stars took over and bent the game to their will; Jazz's 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. It broke open after the break.
