After Action Report

In a track meet, the Bulls handled the Heat 111-99. The tempo dragged the Heat into a rhythm they couldn't survive. 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. The Bulls rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it
