After Action Report
In Chicago, the Bulls blew the doors off the Heat 126-82. The Bulls got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Bulls' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Bulls. The Bulls locker room is humming, and it showed. Garbage time started early.
