After Action Report

The Bulls survived the Heat 102-100. The Bulls' lockdown unit choked off Heat's offense. Bulls' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Bulls' shot-blockers turned the paint into a no-fly zone. The Bulls bench chemistry carried them. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Heat · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Bulls · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Bulls · Block Party Multiple shot-blockers turn the paint into a no-fly zone.
  • Bulls · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
  • Bulls · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
