In New Orleans, the Hornets demolished the Bulls 130-96. Hornets torched the Bulls on the offensive end. The Hornets looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode; Bulls' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
