After Action Report
In New Orleans, the Hornets demolished the Bulls 129-97. The tempo dragged the Bulls into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Hornets came in with something to prove after a loss; the Bulls owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Bulls looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.

- Bulls · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
