After Action Report

In Chicago, the Bulls handled the Knicks 101-84. The Bulls won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Bulls' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes; shots just aren't falling for the Knicks lately. The Knicks looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Tonight's Knicks utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Survive-and-advance type win.

What tipped it

  • Bulls · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Knicks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
