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.
