After Action Report
The Bulls rolled past the Heat 135-115. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Bulls cashed in. The Heat couldn't shake the cold spell; Heat's veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Bulls bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Bulls per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Garbage time started early.
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 · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
