After Action Report
In Chicago, the Bulls survived the Jazz 104-101. Ugly basketball, but the Bulls did just enough. Jazz's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Jazz owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Bulls locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Bulls · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Jazz · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Jazz · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
