After Action Report

In a track meet, the Bulls held off the 76ers 111-102. The 76ers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Bulls. The Bulls answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Bulls' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Bulls locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Bulls per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.
