After Action Report

In New Jersey, the Nets downed the Bulls 131-114. The Nets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Bulls couldn't shake the cold spell; Bulls' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Nets locker room is humming, and it showed. The Bulls rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.

What tipped it

  • Nets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • 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.
