After Action Report

The Bulls handled the Lakers 98-86. The Bulls won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Bulls' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Bulls came in with something to prove after a loss. The Bulls bench chemistry carried them. The Lakers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

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