After Action Report

The Jazz handled the Hornets 117-98. The Hornets couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Jazz. Jazz's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Jazz looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode. The Jazz locker room is humming, and it showed. The Hornets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Jazz · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Jazz · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
  • Jazz · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
