After Action Report
In Chicago, the Knicks downed the Bulls 118-100. The Bulls had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Second-chance points piled up for the Bulls; the Bulls answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. Whispers of a Bulls locker-room rift aren't helping. Knicks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
- Bulls · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Bulls · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Bulls · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
