After Action Report

The Bulls fended off the Nets 132-125. The tempo dragged the Nets into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Bulls' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Bulls came in with something to prove after a loss. The Bulls bench chemistry carried them. Bulls' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.

What tipped it

  • Bulls · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Bulls · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Bulls · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
