After Action Report
The Bulls survived the Raptors 100-99. The Bulls won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Bulls owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Raptors' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. The Bulls bench chemistry carried them. The Raptors rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Raptors · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Raptors · 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 · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
