After Action Report

The Bulls squeaked past the Nets 104-99. The Nets couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Bulls. Bulls' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Bulls. The Bulls locker room is humming, and it showed. The Bulls rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.

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 · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Nets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
