After Action Report
In New York, the Bulls outlasted the Knicks 125-114. The Bulls got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Bulls carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Knicks' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. The Bulls bench chemistry carried them. Bulls' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Knicks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Bulls · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Bulls · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
