After Action Report

The Bulls snuck past the Knicks 109-105. The Bulls won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Bulls' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Bulls' shot-blockers turned the paint into a no-fly zone. The Bulls locker room is humming, and it showed. Survive-and-advance type win.
