After Action Report

In New Orleans, the Jazz buried the Hornets 126-106. The Hornets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Second-chance points piled up for the Jazz; Hornets' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Jazz bench chemistry carried them. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.

What tipped it

  • Jazz · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Jazz · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
