After Action Report
The Bulls survived the Wizards 135-132 in overtime. Bulls' scorers couldn't be contained. Bulls' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Bulls carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Bulls bench chemistry carried them. The Wizards rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it

- Bulls · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Bulls · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Bulls · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
