After Action Report
The Bulls fended off the Hornets 93-84. The Bulls won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Second-chance points piled up for the Bulls; the Bulls sent shots into the fifth row all night. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Bulls · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Bulls · Block Party Multiple shot-blockers turn the paint into a no-fly zone.
- Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
