After Action Report
In Chicago, the Hornets demolished the Bulls 120-86. The Bulls had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Hornets' balanced five covered every spot on the floor; the Bulls are in a full-on tailspin. The Hornets bench chemistry carried them. Never a doubt in this one.
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 · Balanced Five A starting five that covers every position with even talent finds a synergy edge.
- Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
