After Action Report

In Miami, the Bulls ran roughshod over the Heat 133-91. Bulls torched the Heat on the offensive end. Bulls' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Bulls answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Bulls bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Bulls per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. It broke open after the break.

What tipped it

  • Heat · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Bulls · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Bulls · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Bulls · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
