After Action Report
The Jazz pulled away from the Hornets 87-75. The Hornets couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Jazz. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Jazz; Jazz's Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Hornets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Jazz · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
