After Action Report
In Phoenix, the Bulls blew the doors off the Suns 134-108. The tempo dragged the Suns into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Fresh off a statement win, the Bulls stayed locked in; Bulls' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Bulls bench chemistry carried them. Bulls' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.
