After Action Report
The Bulls survived the Nets 88-84. The Nets couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Bulls. The Bulls came in with something to prove after a loss; Bulls' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Bulls bench chemistry carried them. The Bulls rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Nets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Bulls · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Bulls · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
