After Action Report
The Hornets demolished the Jazz 122-97. Hornets' offense had its way with the Jazz. Fresh off a statement win, the Hornets stayed locked in; Hornets' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed. Hornets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Jazz · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
