After Action Report

The Bulls shocked the Clippers 116-98. The Clippers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Bulls' old heads steadied the ship in the swings; second-chance points piled up for the Clippers. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.

What tipped it

  • Clippers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Clippers · Block Party Multiple shot-blockers turn the paint into a no-fly zone.
  • Clippers · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
  • Clippers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
