After Action Report
The Hornets handled the Jazz 109-98. Hornets' scorers couldn't be contained. Hornets' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends; the Jazz couldn't shake the cold spell. Whispers of a Jazz locker-room rift aren't helping. The Jazz rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
