After Action Report
The Hornets outlasted the Bulls 103-95. Ugly basketball, but the Hornets did just enough. The Hornets came in with something to prove after a loss; Bulls' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Hornets bench chemistry carried them. Hornets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
