After Action Report
In Chicago, the Bulls ran roughshod over the Lakers 123-100. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Bulls cashed in. Second-chance points piled up for the Bulls; Bulls' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Bulls locker room is humming, and it showed. Bulls' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.

- Bulls · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Bulls · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
