After Action Report
In Utah, the Jazz handled the Hornets 128-118. Jazz controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Jazz's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Jazz's Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Jazz locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Jazz per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
