After Action Report

The Jazz downed the Hornets 94-83. The Hornets couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Jazz. Jazz's Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; shots just aren't falling for the Hornets lately. Whispers of a Hornets locker-room rift aren't helping. Jazz's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Hornets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
