After Action Report

In Chicago, the Bulls edged the Kings 117-111. The breakneck pace played right into Bulls' hands. Bulls' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; fresh off a statement win, the Bulls stayed locked in. The Bulls locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Bulls per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.

What tipped it

  • 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.
  • Bulls · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Kings · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Kings · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
