After Action Report
The Bulls snuck past the Heat 148-146 in overtime. Bulls controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Bulls' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Bulls pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Bulls bench chemistry carried them. The Heat rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
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 · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
