After Action Report

The Nets outlasted the Bulls 111-96. Nets' scorers couldn't be contained. Nets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Nets looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode. The Nets locker room is humming, and it showed. The Bulls rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Nets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Nets · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
  • Nets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Bulls · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Bulls · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
