After Action Report
The Bulls ran roughshod over the Knicks 127-104. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Bulls cashed in. Bulls' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Bulls' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Bulls locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Bulls per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. It broke open after the break.
