After Action Report
The Hornets squeaked past the Bulls 118-116. The tempo dragged the Bulls into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Hornets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; you could feel the revenge motivation from the Hornets. Whispers of a Bulls locker-room rift aren't helping. The Hornets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
