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.

What tipped it

  • Hornets · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
  • Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Bulls · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Bulls · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • Bulls · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
