After Action Report
The Bulls outlasted the Knicks 114-108. Bulls controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Second-chance points piled up for the Bulls; the Bulls played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. The Bulls bench chemistry carried them. Knicks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Style points be damned.
