After Action Report

The Bulls squeaked past the Nets 126-122. The Nets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Second-chance points piled up for the Bulls; fresh off a statement win, the Bulls stayed locked in. The Bulls bench chemistry carried them.

What tipped it

  • Nets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Nets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Bulls · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Bulls · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Bulls · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
