After Action Report
The Suns buried the Bulls 128-106. The breakneck pace played right into Suns' hands. Suns' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Bulls owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Bulls looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- Suns · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Bulls · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Bulls · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Bulls · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
