After Action Report

The Bulls survived the Jazz 99-96. The Jazz couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Bulls. Bulls' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Bulls carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one. The Bulls locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Jazz utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Bulls · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Bulls · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • Bulls · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Jazz · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Jazz · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
