After Action Report

In Chicago, the Hornets survived the Bulls 99-96. The Bulls couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Hornets. Hornets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Hornets. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
