After Action Report
The Bulls took care of the Heat 103-86. Ugly basketball, but the Bulls did just enough. Bulls' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Bulls came in with something to prove after a loss. The Bulls locker room is humming, and it showed. Heat's per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Bulls · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Bulls · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Bulls · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Heat · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Heat · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
