After Action Report
The Bulls buried the Heat 118-97. Bulls' offense had its way with the Heat. Second-chance points piled up for the Bulls; Bulls' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Bulls locker room is humming, and it showed. The Heat rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It broke open after the break.
What tipped it
- 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.
- Heat · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
