After Action Report
The Bulls outlasted the Heat 117-100. Bulls' scorers couldn't be contained. Second-chance points piled up for the Bulls; the Bulls pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Bulls bench chemistry carried them. The Heat rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Heat · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Heat · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Bulls · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Bulls · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
