After Action Report
The Bulls survived the Grizzlies 115-112. Bulls torched the Grizzlies on the offensive end. The Superstar Stack delivered when it mattered for the Bulls; the Bulls carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Bulls bench chemistry carried them. 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
- Grizzlies · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Grizzlies · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Bulls · Superstar Stack Two or more 90-overall stars bend games to their will on both ends.
- Bulls · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Bulls · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
