After Action Report

In Chicago, the Bulls edged the 76ers 125-117. The Bulls got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Bulls looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode; the Bulls pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Bulls locker room is humming, and it showed. Bulls' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.

What tipped it

  • 76ers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • 76ers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • 76ers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
