After Action Report
The Hornets took care of the Bulls 95-80. The Hornets won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Hornets came in with something to prove after a loss; Hornets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Bulls looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Bulls' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Style points be damned.
