After Action Report
The Bulls handled the Heat 135-125. Bulls controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Bulls' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Bulls pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Bulls locker room is humming, and it showed. The Bulls rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
What tipped it

- Bulls · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Heat · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
