After Action Report
The Bulls squeaked past the Nets 101-97. Bulls' offense had its way with the Nets. Bulls' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Bulls' stars took over and bent the game to their will. The Bulls locker room is humming, and it showed. The Nets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Bulls · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Bulls · Superstar Stack Two or more 90-overall stars bend games to their will on both ends.
- Bulls · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Nets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
