After Action Report
In Chicago, the Bulls pulled away from the Knicks 110-98. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Bulls' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Knicks' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Bulls locker room is humming, and it showed. The Knicks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Bulls · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Knicks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
