After Action Report
The Hornets blew the doors off the Bulls 141-113. The tempo dragged the Bulls into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Fresh off a statement win, the Hornets stayed locked in; Hornets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Hornets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. It was over by halftime.
