After Action Report

In New Orleans, the Jazz outlasted the Hornets 133-127. The Jazz got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Jazz answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Jazz bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Jazz bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's Hornets utilization choices clashed with the team identity.
