After Action Report
In Chicago, the Bulls took care of the Knicks 126-107. Bulls controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Bulls' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Bulls pushed the pace until the other side broke. 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.
- Knicks · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
