The Chicago Bulls (20) defeated the Brooklyn Nets (0 - 1) 115 - 100 on Wednesday at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn. The Bulls put on a shooting clinic in this one, finishing at an impressive 54 percent from the field and 50 percent from the three - point line. The Nets, on the other hand, could n't find their stroke, hitting just 42 percent from the field, while embarrassingly missing all eight of their three - point attempts. Despite turning the ball over 20 times, the Bulls shooting was just too much for the Nets. Both Derrick Rose and Jimmy Butler rode the momentum from their season opening victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers. They combined to go a perfect 7 - for - 7 from the field in the first half to score a combined 20 points, although they only took a three - point lead into the half due to a hefty amount of team turnovers (11). Going on a 10 - 2 run to start the second half, though, the Bulls never looked back and were able to finish with a 15 - point victory. Butler finished the game with a team - high 24 points (9 - 11 FG, 3 - 3 3Pt, 3 - 3 FT), to go along with four rebounds and six assists, while Rose chipped in with 15 points (5 - 11 FG, 0 - 1 3Pt, 3 - 3 FT) and three assists. Nikola Mirotic continued his strong start to the season as well, adding 18 points (5 - 10 FG, 4 - 8 3Pt, 4 - 4 FT) and nine rebounds. Brook Lopez did everything he could to keep the Nets in this ball game. He went 10 - for - 17 from the field to score 26 points, while also adding seven rebounds and a block. One of the other positives in this game was the play of Andrea Bargnani. Bargnani was unable to play in the preseason due to a hamstring injury, but he did n't look to be hampered by any lingering effects. In 22 minutes off the bench, he produced 17 points (6 - 13 FG, 0 - 1 3Pt, 5 - 5 FT) and seven rebounds. Shooting just 4 - for - 15 from the field and missing both of his three - point attempts, Joe Johnson struggled to just 10 points over 32 minutes, but did add a team - high of 10 rebounds. The Bulls will next travel to Detroit on Friday to play the Pistons, while the Nets head to San Antonio to take on the Spurs on Friday.
