After Action Report
The Hornets handled the Bulls 112-93. Ugly basketball, but the Hornets did just enough. Fresh off a statement win, the Hornets stayed locked in; the Bulls couldn't shake the cold spell. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed. The Bulls rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Bulls · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
