After Action Report

The Bulls squeaked past the Nets 113-109 in overtime. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Bulls' defenders refused to give up clean looks; the Nets are in a full-on tailspin. The Bulls bench chemistry carried them.

What tipped it

  • 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.
  • Bulls · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
