After Action Report
The Hornets downed the Bulls 110-98. Hornets' scorers couldn't be contained. Hornets' old heads steadied the ship in the swings; the Bulls are in a full-on tailspin. The Hornets bench chemistry carried them. Bulls' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Bulls · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Bulls · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
