After Action Report

In Chicago, the Bulls took care of the Knicks 133-118. The tempo dragged the Knicks into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Bulls' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Bulls owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Bulls locker room is humming, and it showed.

What tipped it

  • 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.
  • Bulls · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
