In Chicago, the Bulls snuck past the Jazz 107-106. Every possession went the Bulls way. The Bulls played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; the Bulls pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Bulls locker room is humming, and it showed. Bulls' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
