After Action Report
The Nets rolled past the Bulls 119-87. The Bulls had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Nets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Nets played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. Whispers of a Bulls locker-room rift aren't helping. The Bulls rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- 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 · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Nets · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
