After Action Report
In New Orleans, the Jazz blew the doors off the Hornets 111-90. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Jazz came in with something to prove after a loss; Jazz's old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Jazz bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's Hornets utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Never a doubt in this one.

- Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Jazz · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Jazz · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
