After Action Report
The Bulls held off the Pacers 103-96. The Bulls won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Second-chance points piled up for the Bulls; the Bulls bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Bulls bench chemistry carried them. Pacers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Bulls · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Bulls · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
