After Action Report
The Bulls blew the doors off the Heat 123-87. The Heat had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Bulls owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Bulls' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Bulls bench chemistry carried them. The Heat rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Garbage time started early.
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.
