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.

- Bulls · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
