After Action Report
The Nets downed the Bulls 115-98. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Nets cashed in. The Nets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Nets' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. Whispers of a Bulls locker-room rift aren't helping. Tonight's Bulls utilization choices clashed with the team identity.
What tipped it
- Bulls · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Bulls · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Bulls · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Nets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
