After Action Report

In Chicago, the Heat snuck past the Bulls 109-107. Heat controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Heat's Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; Bulls' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. Early returns: the Heat per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.

What tipped it

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