After Action Report
The Bulls blew the doors off the Hornets 149-101. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Bulls cashed in. The Bulls answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Hornets' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Bulls locker room is humming, and it showed. Hornets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Bulls · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Bulls · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
