After Action Report
In Chicago, the Nets demolished the Bulls 131-106. The tempo dragged the Bulls into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Nets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Bulls' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Nets bench chemistry carried them. 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 · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Nets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
