After Action Report
In Chicago, the Bulls buried the Nets 141-94. The Bulls got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Bulls came in with something to prove after a loss; Bulls' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Nets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Nets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Bulls · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Nets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Nets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
