After Action Report

In Chicago, the Nets ran roughshod over the Bulls 141-94. The breakneck pace played right into Nets' hands. Second-chance points piled up for the Nets; the Nets pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Nets bench chemistry carried them. Nets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.
