After Action Report

The Hornets survived the Bulls 107-105. The Hornets won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Hornets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Hornets owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed. Style points be damned.

  • Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Bulls · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
