After Action Report

The Bulls blew the doors off the Hornets 124-103. The breakneck pace played right into Bulls' hands. Bulls' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Bulls came in with something to prove after a loss. The Bulls locker room is humming, and it showed. Bulls' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It was over by halftime.
