After Action Report

The Bulls squeaked past the Knicks 107-106. Ugly basketball, but the Bulls did just enough. Bulls' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Bulls owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Bulls locker room is humming, and it showed. The Bulls rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
