After Action Report
In a track meet, the Bulls handled the Heat 105-88. The Bulls won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Bulls' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Bulls' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Bulls locker room is humming, and it showed. Bulls' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Bulls · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Bulls · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- 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.
