After Action Report

In a track meet, the 76ers ran roughshod over the Bulls 125-88. The tempo dragged the Bulls into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The 76ers pushed the pace until the other side broke; the Bulls are in a full-on tailspin. The Bulls looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Tonight's Bulls utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • Bulls · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Bulls · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
