After Action Report
The Bulls upended the Nets 114-102. The Nets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Bulls pushed the pace until the other side broke; Nets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Nets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
What tipped it
- Bulls · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Nets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Nets · Superstar Stack Two or more 90-overall stars bend games to their will on both ends.
- Nets · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Nets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
