After Action Report
In Chicago, the Bulls snuck past the Hornets 121-118. Bulls' offense had its way with the Hornets. Bulls' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Bulls answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Bulls locker room is humming, and it showed. The Hornets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
