After Action Report
In a track meet, the Jazz squeaked past the Hornets 118-115. Jazz's offense had its way with the Hornets. Jazz's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Jazz's Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. 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. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
