After Action Report

The Bulls outlasted the Knicks 113-106. Bulls' offense had its way with the Knicks. The Bulls carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; the Knicks came in with something to prove after a loss. The Bulls bench chemistry carried them. Bulls' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
