After Action Report

The Jazz pulled away from the Hornets 111-101. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Jazz carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; fresh off a statement win, the Hornets stayed locked in. 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. Survive-and-advance type win.
