After Action Report
In a track meet, the Bulls blew the doors off the Hornets 147-117. Bulls' offense had its way with the Hornets. Bulls' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Bulls carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one. The Bulls bench chemistry carried them. The Hornets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Garbage time started early.
