After Action Report

The Raptors survived the Bulls 99-97. Raptors' scorers couldn't be contained. The Raptors pushed the pace until the other side broke; Bulls' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition.

What tipped it

  • Bulls · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Bulls · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • Bulls · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Raptors · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
