After Action Report
The Hornets took care of the Jazz 101-90. The Hornets won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Jazz owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Jazz answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed. Jazz's per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Jazz · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Jazz · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
