After Action Report
The Nets snuck past the Bulls 83-82. The Nets won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Nets couldn't shake the cold spell; the Nets pushed the pace until the other side broke. Whispers of a Bulls locker-room rift aren't helping. Bulls' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Survive-and-advance type win.
