After Action Report

In a track meet, the Bulls buried the Heat 140-104. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Bulls cashed in. Second-chance points piled up for the Bulls; shots just aren't falling for the Bulls lately. The Bulls bench chemistry carried them. The Heat rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • Heat · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Heat · 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 · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Bulls · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
