Buzz City, meet basketball’s buzzsaw.
The Utah Jazz rolled into Charlotte and took care of the Hornets on Friday night, a 138-121 road victory for the current No. 1 team in the NBA. The Jazz (18-5) have now won three straight games and 14 of their last 15.
The Jazz did it in a familiar fashion: pushing the pace, pressuring the rim, and then burying the Hornets under the weight of a franchise-record 26 3-pointers. The Jazz shot 52 percent from deep, and eight different players knocked down at least one shot from downtown.
Bojan Bogdanovic scored a game-high 31 points (7-of-10 from beyond the arc) and Donovan Mitchell scored 30 (5-of-9 from deep).
