After Action Report
The Bulls fended off the Heat 107-99. Bulls torched the Heat on the offensive end. Bulls' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Bulls carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. Whispers of a Heat locker-room rift aren't helping. Heat's per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Heat · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Heat · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Bulls · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Bulls · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
