After Action Report

In Chicago, the Bulls buried the Nets 121-95. The Nets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Bulls' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Bulls bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Nets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Nets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Garbage time started early.

What tipped it

  • Bulls · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Nets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • 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.
