The Utah Jazz suffered a significant 150-95 defeat against the Charlotte Hornets, marking their largest margin of loss since relocating in 1979. The team, criticized for intentionally losing games to improve draft lottery odds, was booed by home fans. Coach Will Hardy acknowledged the team's struggles, particularly in rebounding and three-point shooting, exacerbated by resting top scorer Lauri Markkanen and the absence of Jusuf Nurkic. The Jazz now face a challenging road trip.
