After Action Report

The Heat ran roughshod over the Bulls 122-101. The Bulls had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Heat couldn't shake the cold spell; the Bulls answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Bulls looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Tonight's Bulls utilization choices clashed with the team identity. It broke open after the break.

What tipped it

  • Heat · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Bulls · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Bulls · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
