After Action Report
In Chicago, the Bulls pulled away from the Wizards 96-82. The Wizards couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Bulls. Bulls' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Bulls played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. The Bulls locker room is humming, and it showed. The Wizards rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Style points be damned.

- Bulls · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Bulls · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
