After Action Report
The Hornets stunned the Jazz 130-129. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hornets cashed in. Hornets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Hornets owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
