After Action Report
The Hornets edged the Bulls 99-91. The Hornets won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Hornets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Hornets' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Bulls · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
