After Action Report

The Bulls squeaked past the Hornets 107-105. The better team simply showed up tonight. Bulls' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Bulls. The Bulls locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Hornets utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Bulls · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Bulls · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Bulls · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Hornets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Hornets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
