After Action Report

The Bobcats blew the doors off the Bulls 118-89. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Bobcats cashed in. The Bulls came in with something to prove after a loss; Bulls' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Bobcats bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's Bulls utilization choices clashed with the team identity. It was over by halftime.

What tipped it

  • Bulls · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Bulls · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Bobcats · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
