After Action Report

The Hornets buried the Jazz 122-90. The Jazz had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Hornets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; shots just aren't falling for the Jazz lately. The Hornets bench chemistry carried them. It was over by halftime.

What tipped it

  • Jazz · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Jazz · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
