After Action Report

The Nets downed the Bulls 111-98. Ugly basketball, but the Nets did just enough. The Nets owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Nets ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire. The Nets locker room is humming, and it showed. Nets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
