After Action Report
The Wizards held off the Bulls 99-92. The Bulls couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Wizards. The Wizards answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Bulls bent the defense out of shape from deep. Whispers of a Bulls locker-room rift aren't helping. Tonight's Bulls utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Bulls · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Wizards · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
