After Action Report
The Jazz downed the Hornets 107-93. The Hornets couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Jazz. The Jazz bent the defense out of shape from deep; the Hornets owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Jazz bench chemistry carried them. The Hornets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Jazz · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
