After Action Report

The Bulls survived the 76ers 104-102. Ugly basketball, but the Bulls did just enough. Second-chance points piled up for the Bulls; the Bulls sent shots into the fifth row all night. The Bulls locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Bulls per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Survive-and-advance type win.

What tipped it

  • Bulls · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Bulls · Block Party Multiple shot-blockers turn the paint into a no-fly zone.
  • Bulls · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • Bulls · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • 76ers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
