After Action Report
The Bulls fended off the Jazz 114-105. The better team simply showed up tonight. Fresh off a statement win, the Bulls stayed locked in; the Bulls bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Bulls locker room is humming, and it showed. Bulls' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
