After Action Report
The Bulls outlasted the Nuggets 98-79. The Nuggets couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Bulls. The Bulls owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Bulls' shot-blockers turned the paint into a no-fly zone. The Bulls locker room is humming, and it showed. The Bulls rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
