After Action Report
In Chicago, the Bulls blew the doors off the Hornets 127-92. Bulls' offense had its way with the Hornets. The Bulls owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Bulls pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Bulls locker room is humming, and it showed. The Hornets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It was over by halftime.
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.
