After Action Report
The Heat edged the Bulls 99-91. The Bulls couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Heat. The Heat looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode; Bulls' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Heat bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's Bulls utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Bulls · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Heat · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Heat · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
