After Action Report

The Jazz took care of the Hornets 116-102. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Jazz cashed in. Second-chance points piled up for the Jazz; Jazz's Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Hornets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger.

What tipped it

  • Jazz · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
