After Action Report
The Hornets snuck past the Bulls 94-90. The Bulls couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Hornets. The Hornets owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Hornets' defenders refused to give up clean looks. Whispers of a Bulls locker-room rift aren't helping. The Bulls rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Bulls · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Hornets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
