After Action Report

The Bulls outlasted the SuperSonics 117-109. Bulls' offense had its way with the SuperSonics. Second-chance points piled up for the Bulls; fresh off a statement win, the Bulls stayed locked in. The Bulls bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Bulls per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.

What tipped it

  • SuperSonics · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • SuperSonics · 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 · 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.
