After Action Report
In Chicago, the Bulls outlasted the Wizards 99-90. The Bulls won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Bulls' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Bulls came in with something to prove after a loss. The Bulls locker room is humming, and it showed. Bulls' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
