After Action Report
The Hornets ran roughshod over the Bulls 135-87. Hornets torched the Bulls on the offensive end. Fresh off a statement win, the Hornets stayed locked in; Hornets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Whispers of a Bulls locker-room rift aren't helping. Bulls' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Bulls · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Bulls · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Hornets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
