After Action Report
The Bulls pulled away from the Heat 93-81. The Heat couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Bulls. The Bulls couldn't shake the cold spell; Bulls' defenders refused to give up clean looks. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Heat · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Bulls · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Bulls · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
