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.
