After Action Report

The Bulls fended off the Hornets 105-96. The better team simply showed up tonight. Second-chance points piled up for the Bulls; the Bulls ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire. The Bulls locker room is humming, and it showed. Hornets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Survive-and-advance type win.

What tipped it

  • Bulls · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Bulls · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • Bulls · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Hornets · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
