After Action Report

In Seattle, the Bulls snuck past the SuperSonics 98-96. Ugly basketball, but the Bulls did just enough. Bulls' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Bulls carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one. The Bulls bench chemistry carried them. Bulls' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • SuperSonics · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Bulls · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Bulls · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • Bulls · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
