After Action Report

The Bulls ran roughshod over the Nets 127-97. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Bulls cashed in. The Bulls came in with something to prove after a loss; Bulls' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Bulls locker room is humming, and it showed. Nets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • Bulls · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Bulls · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Nets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
