After Action Report
In Chicago, the Hornets ran roughshod over the Bulls 133-88. The Hornets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Hornets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Bulls' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. Whispers of a Bulls locker-room rift aren't helping. Bulls' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Bulls · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
