After Action Report

The Bulls handled the Heat 105-90. The Heat couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Bulls. Bulls' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Bulls carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one. The Bulls bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Bulls per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • 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 · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • Bulls · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
