After Action Report
The Hornets edged the Bulls 117-110. The breakneck pace played right into Hornets' hands. The Hornets couldn't shake the cold spell; Hornets' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. Tonight's Bulls utilization choices clashed with the team identity.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Bulls · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Bulls · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
