After Action Report
The Bulls squeaked past the Lakers 102-99. Every possession went the Bulls way. Bulls' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Lakers' defenders refused to give up clean looks. 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.
What tipped it
- Bulls · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
