After Action Report
In a track meet, the Bulls edged the Jazz 111-102. The breakneck pace played right into Bulls' hands. The Bulls pushed the pace until the other side broke; the Jazz carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. Early returns: the Bulls per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
