The games-in-7 row comes back even at 0 vs 0, making it a smaller push on its own.

- Game script (pace): When Chicago Bulls manages to speed the tempo, San Antonio Spurs needs to control the game and turn it into a half-court matchup. That first pace read often mirrors the total.
- Efficiency edge (side): The bigger sample points toward San Antonio Spurs as long as the possession game stays safer and rebounds are secured. Those bonus looks can flip it.
- Late filters (availability + market): Run the closing check on who is available, because small rotation shifts can alter who closes and how the final minutes look. If the market moves, treat it as a nudge to re-verify news rather than jamming a lean.
