After Action Report

The Bulls demolished the Heat 124-97. Bulls controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Bulls' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Bulls' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Bulls bench chemistry carried them. It was over by halftime.

What tipped it

  • Heat · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • 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 · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
