After Action Report
The Hornets outlasted the Bulls 113-104. Hornets controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Hornets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Bulls' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. Hornets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Bulls · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Bulls · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
