After Action Report
The Bulls outlasted the Heat 114-104. The Bulls got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Second-chance points piled up for the Bulls; the Bulls couldn't shake the cold spell. Whispers of a Heat locker-room rift aren't helping. Bulls' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
- Heat · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Bulls · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Bulls · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
