After Action Report

The Bulls buried the 76ers 127-102. The breakneck pace played right into Bulls' hands. The Bulls owned the glass, generating extra possessions; fresh off a statement win, the Bulls stayed locked in. The Bulls locker room is humming, and it showed. The 76ers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.

What tipped it

  • Bulls · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • 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.
  • 76ers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • 76ers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • 76ers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
