After Action Report
The Spurs squeaked past the Bulls 97-96. The tempo dragged the Bulls into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Spurs couldn't shake the cold spell; Spurs' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Spurs · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Spurs · 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 · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
