After Action Report
In a track meet, the Bulls squeaked past the Nuggets 110-109. Bulls controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. The Bulls came in with something to prove after a loss; Bulls' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Bulls' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
