After Action Report

In Chicago, the Bucks edged the Bulls 124-116. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Bucks cashed in. Fresh off a statement win, the Bulls stayed locked in; Bulls' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. Early returns: the Bucks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.

What tipped it

  • Bulls · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Bulls · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Bucks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
