After Action Report

The Bulls survived the Raptors 120-118 in overtime. The Raptors had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Bulls' old heads steadied the ship in the swings; Raptors' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. Raptors' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.

What tipped it

  • Raptors · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Raptors · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Raptors · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
