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.
