After Action Report

In a track meet, the Hornets held off the Bulls 108-102. The Bulls couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Hornets. Hornets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Hornets. The Hornets bench chemistry carried them. Bulls' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Style points be damned.
