After Action Report
In New Orleans, the Jazz edged the Hornets 111-102. The Jazz got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Jazz's defenders refused to give up clean looks; Hornets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Jazz bench chemistry carried them. Jazz's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
