After Action Report

The Bulls buried the Bucks 118-96. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Bulls owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Bulls played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. The Bulls locker room is humming, and it showed. The Bucks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
