After Action Report

The Nets ran roughshod over the Bulls 154-103. Nets torched the Bulls on the offensive end. The Nets pushed the pace until the other side broke; Bulls' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Bulls looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Bulls rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Garbage time started early.

What tipped it

  • 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 · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Bulls · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
