After Action Report

The Nets survived the Bulls 134-132 in overtime. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Nets cashed in. The Nets couldn't shake the cold spell; Nets' old heads steadied the ship in the swings.

What tipped it

  • Nets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Nets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Bulls · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Bulls · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Bulls · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Bulls · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
