After Action Report

The Bulls squeaked past the Kings 88-87. Ugly basketball, but the Bulls did just enough. Bulls' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Bulls. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Bulls · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Bulls · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Bulls · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Kings · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
