After Action Report

In a track meet, the Bulls squeaked past the Knicks 117-114. Bulls controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. The Bulls answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Bulls' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Bulls' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
