After Action Report
The Bulls upended the Nets 118-108. The breakneck pace played right into Bulls' hands. Bulls' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; the Nets owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Bulls locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Bulls per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
