"We knew Chicago Bulls would come out aggressive, so our focus was dictating the tempo early and getting our second unit involved (39 bench points). Once our defensive stops fueled our transition spacing in the second half, the rim opened up and we executed our fourth-quarter sets to finish strong at 127–121."
