After Action Report
The Bulls survived the Heat 108-107. The Heat couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Bulls. The Bulls looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode; the Heat are in a full-on tailspin. The Bulls locker room is humming, and it showed. Heat's per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Bulls · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Bulls · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Heat · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Heat · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
