After Action Report
The Hornets shocked the Bulls 101-99. The better team simply showed up tonight. Bulls' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Bulls' shot-blockers turned the paint into a no-fly zone. The Hornets bench chemistry carried them. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
