After Action Report

In a track meet, the Bulls outlasted the Bobcats 131-117. Bulls' offense had its way with the Bobcats. Bulls' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Bulls' stars took over and bent the game to their will. The Bulls locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Bulls per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.

What tipped it

  • Bulls · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Bulls · Superstar Stack Two or more 90-overall stars bend games to their will on both ends.
  • Bulls · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Bulls · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Bobcats · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
