After Action Report

In New Orleans, the Bulls downed the Hornets 104-93. The Hornets couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Bulls. Bulls' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Bulls sent shots into the fifth row all night. The Bulls bench chemistry carried them. Style points be damned.
