After Action Report

In Utah, the Jazz squeaked past the Hornets 118-115. Jazz's scorers couldn't be contained. The Jazz came in with something to prove after a loss; Jazz's old heads steadied the ship in the swings. 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.
