After Action Report
The Bulls knocked off the Nuggets 102-98. The breakneck pace played right into Bulls' hands. The Bulls owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Nuggets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
What tipped it
- Bulls · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Nuggets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Nuggets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
