After Action Report

The Bulls pulled away from the Raptors 106-91. The better team simply showed up tonight. Bulls' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Bulls looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode. 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 · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).

  • Raptors · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Raptors · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • Raptors · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
