After Action Report
The Bulls buried the Hornets 117-82. Bulls' offense had its way with the Hornets. Bulls' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Bulls' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Bulls locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Bulls per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. It was over by halftime.
