After Action Report
The Hornets demolished the Bulls 116-89. Hornets' offense had its way with the Bulls. The Hornets bent the defense out of shape from deep; second-chance points piled up for the Bulls. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed. Bulls' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Bulls · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
