After Action Report
The Bulls survived the Suns 101-97. Every possession went the Bulls way. The Bulls answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Bulls' defenders refused to give up clean looks. Early returns: the Bulls per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
