After Action Report
The Hornets buried the Bulls 110-75. Hornets' offense had its way with the Bulls. Hornets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Hornets came in with something to prove after a loss. The Bulls looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Bulls rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hornets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Bulls · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
