After Action Report

The Jazz blew the doors off the Hornets 110-90. The better team simply showed up tonight. Jazz's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Jazz steamroller is in full effect right now. The Jazz locker room is humming, and it showed. Jazz's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.

What tipped it

  • Jazz · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Jazz · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
  • Jazz · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
