After Action Report

The Bulls rolled past the Kings 122-99. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Bulls cashed in. The Bulls owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Bulls' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. 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

  • Kings · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Bulls · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Bulls · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
