After Action Report
The Bulls ran roughshod over the Hornets 121-96. Bulls' scorers couldn't be contained. The Bulls looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode; Hornets' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. The Bulls bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's Hornets utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Bulls · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Bulls · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
