After Action Report

The Bobcats ran roughshod over the Bulls 135-86. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Bobcats cashed in. The Bobcats owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Bobcats bent the defense out of shape from deep. Whispers of a Bulls locker-room rift aren't helping. The Bobcats rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • 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 · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
