After Action Report

In Chicago, the Kings ran roughshod over the Bulls 126-91. Lineup balance gave the Kings a clear synergy edge. Kings' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; shots just aren't falling for the Kings lately. Whispers of a Bulls locker-room rift aren't helping. Tonight's Bulls utilization choices clashed with the team identity. It was over by halftime.

What tipped it

  • Bulls · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Bulls · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Kings · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Kings · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
