After Action Report

In Los Angeles, the Bulls survived the Clippers 97-92. The Bulls won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Second-chance points piled up for the Bulls; Bulls' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Bulls bench chemistry carried them. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • 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.
