After Action Report
The Jazz squeaked past the Hornets 117-116. The breakneck pace played right into Jazz's hands. Jazz's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Jazz ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire. The Jazz locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Jazz · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Jazz · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Jazz · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
