After Action Report
The Hornets snuck past the Jazz 118-117. Hornets controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Hornets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Jazz's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Hornets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Survive-and-advance type win.
