After Action Report

The Bulls survived the Kings 100-98. The Bulls won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Kings' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Kings. The Bulls locker room is humming, and it showed. The Bulls rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

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