After Action Report

The Heat stunned the Bulls 112-109. The better team simply showed up tonight. Heat's Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; Bulls' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Bulls looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. An upset for the books.

What tipped it

  • Bulls · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Bulls · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Bulls · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Bulls · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
