Amazing night. The Jazz were very very good.
Deron just ripped CP3 apart. What a statement.
Jazz were 14 of 22 from three.
The Jazz showed a rip your heart out part of them tonight. I love it.
The defense was terrific throughout the game. The help, the digging, the unit as a whole played as 5 pieces all connected together.
Boozer had 17 rebounds.
The Jazz just ripped apart the 5th best defense in the NBA, they riffled through the Rockets and Spurs on this streak as well.

Deron Williams has kicked Chris Paul back side
5:42 4th Quarter — Jazz 97 Hornets 80
Pargo got hot and got the Hornets to within 11.
Then D-Will took over again . He had a vicious dunk. That is to truly describe I would have to be an non-family blog.
Then he challanged Chandler and scored and took the foul. He has 9 in the quarter.
Crowd started trying to get an all-star chant going.
Boozer is still hot
End of the 3rd Quarter — Jazz 82 Hornets 62
This is an awesome display of basketball.
The Hornets were the hottest team in the league. They had won 8 straight by over 10 points when they went on this trip and the Jazz are crushing them.
Boozer dominated late with Chandler on the bench. So smart by the Jazz to go to Boozer and he scored 8 straight points
This is a complete white wash.
5:00 3rd Quarter — Jazz 67 Hornets 50
Jazz scored on their first 6 possessions.
The defense is great.
I see a little a__ out of this team tonight and I love it.
CP3 has been a non factor
Halftime — Jazz 50 Hornets 39
Jazz set a franchise record with 7 3 balls in the quarter.
Korver started it, Memo ended it.
Jazz had 11 field goals in the quarter and 7 were three’s.
Jazz lead 36-24 when the Jazz bench dominated the game, just as we said in the keys to the game.
The Hornets starters came back into the game and got the score back to 39-35.
Then the Jazz finished with a flurry, a 9-2 run.
Capped by a steal of a Chris Paul pass by Brewer and he took it the other way for a dunk.
Boozer is just 3 of 8 and is having a hard time when guarded by Chandler.
CP3 is 3 of 10 with 5 assists . D-Will is 3 of 4 with 6 assists.
Jazz shooting 48% but 62% from three. Hornets are 38% and 2 of 6 from three.
7:25 2nd Quarter — Jazz 36 Hornets 24
Holy 3 balls !!!! Korver just hit three and D-Will followed with one of his own,
The Hornets bench is really inadequate and the Jazz have taken advantage.
Ronnie Price played great. He had his best pure point guard plays
End of 1st Quarter — Jazz 21 Hornets 20
Both teams have played very well defensively.
The Jazz help has been fantastic.
David West is a lot of numbers without a lot of game. The Jazz have a good plan on him and are making him look poor. In my opinion he is the piece that will hold them back long term.
Matt Harpring came into the game and changed everything.
5:16 1st Quarter — Jazz 14 Hornets 14
CP3 went out with 2 fouls at the 6:21 mark. D-Will posted him up and pick up the 2nd foul. D-wIll is noticeably bigger when they are match-up head to head.
CP3 can get where ever he wants to go on the floor with his dribble.
Jazz are playing well on the offensive end.
Brewer had a tough time with Mo Pete and has 2 fouls.
KEYS TO THE GAME
1) Okur needs to supplement the offense Boozer can’t get with Chandler guarding him
2) Win the battle at the point
3) Dominate off the bench
4) Get some activity on the offensive glass.
BREAKING NEWS: Andrei Kirilenko is out. CJ Miles is starting in his place.
