After Action Report

The Bulls outlasted the Nets 123-114. The breakneck pace played right into Bulls' hands. The Bulls owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Bulls steamroller is in full effect right now. The Bulls bench chemistry carried them. Bulls' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
