After Action Report
In New Jersey, the Bulls buried the Nets 129-97. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Bulls cashed in. Bulls' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Superstar Stack delivered when it mattered for the Bulls. The Bulls bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's Nets utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Nets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Nets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- 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.
