After Action Report

In New Orleans, the Jazz held off the Hornets 121-112. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Jazz cashed in. Jazz's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Jazz answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Jazz bench chemistry carried them.

What tipped it

  • Hornets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Jazz · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Jazz · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Jazz · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
