After Action Report
The Bulls took care of the Bucks 127-115 in overtime. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Bulls cashed in. Bulls' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Bulls. The Bulls bench chemistry carried them. Bucks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
