After Action Report
The Bulls edged the 76ers 102-93. The Bulls won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Bulls owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Bulls played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. The 76ers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Style points be damned.
