After Action Report

The Bulls demolished the Pacers 118-96. Every possession went the Bulls way. 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 Bulls rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
