After Action Report
In Chicago, the Bulls survived the Warriors 116-113. Ugly basketball, but the Bulls did just enough. The Bulls carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; Bulls' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Early returns: the Bulls per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
