After Action Report

The Bulls held off the Nets 102-94. Ugly basketball, but the Bulls did just enough. Bulls' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Bulls looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode. The Bulls bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Bulls per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Nets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Bulls · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Bulls · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
  • Bulls · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
