Hornets' defense lacking in loss to Jazz

CHARLOTTE, N.C. _ The Charlotte Hornets' defense has been behind the offense this season, but not this far behind.

The Hornets gave up a slew of wide-open 3-pointers to fall to the Utah Jazz, 119-111, Friday at Spectrum Center. The Hornets never led, dropping to 11-11 for the season.

The Jazz (11-12) made 18 of 40 from 3-point range, with reserve Jae Crowder going 6-for-10 from the arc. Jazz center Rudy Gobert had 20 points and 17 rebounds.

The Hornets got 20 points and nine assists from veteran backup point guard Tony Parker, who played a season-high 32 minutes.

Jeremy Lamb had 24 points for the Hornets and Kemba Walker had 21.
