After Action Report
The Hornets blew the doors off the Bulls 123-103. The Hornets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Hornets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Hornets. The Hornets bench chemistry carried them. The Bulls rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. 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 · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hornets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Hornets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
