After Action Report
The Bulls handled the 76ers 99-88. The Bulls won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Bulls' defenders refused to give up clean looks; 76ers' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Bulls bench chemistry carried them. Bulls' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
