After Action Report
The Bulls ran roughshod over the Heat 104-77. The Bulls won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Bulls sent shots into the fifth row all night; the Bulls steamroller is in full effect right now. The Bulls locker room is humming, and it showed. It was over by halftime.
