After Action Report

The Bulls ran roughshod over the Hornets 118-92. Bulls controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Second-chance points piled up for the Bulls; the Hornets couldn't shake the cold spell. The Bulls locker room is humming, and it showed. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • Bulls · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Bulls · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Hornets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
