After Action Report

The Bobcats handled the Bulls 105-94. Ugly basketball, but the Bobcats did just enough. The Bobcats came in with something to prove after a loss; Bobcats' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Bobcats bench chemistry carried them. The Bobcats rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Bulls · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Bulls · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Bulls · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Bobcats · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Bobcats · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
