After Action Report

The Bulls outlasted the Spurs 114-99. The tempo dragged the Spurs into a rhythm they couldn't survive. 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. The Spurs rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Spurs · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Spurs · 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.
