After Action Report

In Chicago, the Bulls outlasted the 76ers 117-101. Bulls' offense had its way with the 76ers. The Bulls owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Bulls' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Bulls locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

  • Bulls · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Bulls · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • 76ers · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
