After Action Report
In Chicago, the Bulls rolled past the Magic 132-106. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Bulls cashed in. The Superstar Stack delivered when it mattered for the Bulls; 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. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
What tipped it
- Bulls · Superstar Stack Two or more 90-overall stars bend games to their will on both ends.
- Bulls · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Magic · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
