After Action Report
The Jazz demolished the Hornets 112-82. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Hornets' shot-blockers turned the paint into a no-fly zone; Hornets' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Jazz locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Hornets utilization choices clashed with the team identity. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Jazz · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Hornets · Block Party Multiple shot-blockers turn the paint into a no-fly zone.
