After Action Report

In Chicago, the Bulls ran roughshod over the Timberwolves 125-94. The Bulls got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Second-chance points piled up for the Bulls; Bulls' shot-blockers turned the paint into a no-fly zone. The Bulls locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Bulls per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Never a doubt in this one.
