After Action Report

In Sacramento, the Bulls buried the Kings 126-98. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Bulls cashed in. Second-chance points piled up for the Bulls; the Bulls ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire. The Bulls bench chemistry carried them. It was over by halftime.

What tipped it

  • Kings · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Kings · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Bulls · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Bulls · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • Bulls · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
