After Action Report

The Bulls pulled away from the Nets 116-98. The Nets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Bulls' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; the Nets bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Bulls bench chemistry carried them. Nets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.

What tipped it

  • Nets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Bulls · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
