After Action Report
The Hornets ran roughshod over the Bulls 102-75. Every possession went the Hornets way. The Hornets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Hornets pushed the pace until the other side broke. Whispers of a Bulls locker-room rift aren't helping. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
What tipped it
- Bulls · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Bulls · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Hornets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
