After Action Report
The Nets downed the Bulls 106-89. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Nets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Nets' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Nets locker room is humming, and it showed. The Nets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
