The Bulls pulled away from the Nets 114-102. The Nets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Bulls' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Bulls played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. The Bulls bench chemistry carried them. Bulls' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
