After Action Report

What tipped it

  • Nets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Nets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Nets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Bulls · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
