After Action Report

The Bulls handled the Kings 123-104. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Bulls cashed in. The Bulls ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; the Kings came in with something to prove after a loss. The Bulls locker room is humming, and it showed. Kings' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.

What tipped it

  • 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.
  • Kings · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Kings · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
