After Action Report

The Bulls rolled past the Wizards 124-86. The Bulls got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Bulls came in with something to prove after a loss; the Wizards couldn't shake the cold spell. Whispers of a Wizards locker-room rift aren't helping. Bulls' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • Wizards · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Wizards · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Bulls · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
