After Action Report

The Bulls handled the Knicks 127-113. The Knicks had no answer for the variance gods tonight. 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. The Knicks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
