After Action Report
The Nets upended the Bulls 116-97. The Nets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Nets' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends; the Nets bent the defense out of shape from deep. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
What tipped it
- Nets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Nets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Bulls · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Bulls · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
