After Action Report
The Hornets squeaked past the Bulls 102-97. The Bulls couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Hornets. The Hornets came in with something to prove after a loss; the Bulls played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. Early returns: the Hornets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
