After Action Report

In New Jersey, the Nets took care of the Bulls 100-89. The Nets won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Nets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Bulls' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

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 · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • Bulls · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
