After Action Report
The Hornets buried the Jazz 129-101. Hornets' offense had its way with the Jazz. Hornets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Hornets played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. The Hornets bench chemistry carried them. The Hornets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Jazz · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hornets · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
