After Action Report
In Chicago, the Bulls ran roughshod over the Timberwolves 120-84. Bulls' scorers couldn't be contained. Bulls' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Bulls ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire. The Bulls locker room is humming, and it showed. The Timberwolves rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Bulls · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Bulls · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Bulls · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
