After Action Report
The Bulls demolished the Heat 120-100. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Bulls cashed in. The Bulls carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Bulls bench chemistry carried them. Heat's per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
What tipped it
- Heat · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Bulls · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Bulls · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
