After Action Report
In Utah, the Jazz survived the Hornets 111-108. Jazz controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. The Jazz owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Jazz couldn't shake the cold spell. The Hornets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Jazz · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Jazz · 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.
