After Action Report
The Bulls held off the Nets 91-85. The Nets couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Bulls. Bulls' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends; Bulls' outside barrage was a constant threat. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- 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.
- Nets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Nets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Nets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
