After Action Report

The Bulls outlasted the Knicks 94-88. The Bulls won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Bulls answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Knicks answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Bulls locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Bulls per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Bulls · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Bulls · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Knicks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Knicks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
