After Action Report
The 76ers stunned the Bulls 103-99. The tempo dragged the Bulls into a rhythm they couldn't survive. You could feel the revenge motivation from the 76ers; the 76ers pushed the pace until the other side broke. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.

- Bulls · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
