After Action Report

The Bulls outlasted the Nets 106-95. The tempo dragged the Nets into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Bulls' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Bulls' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Bulls bench chemistry carried them. The Nets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Survive-and-advance type win.

What tipped it

  • Nets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Nets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Bulls · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Bulls · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
