The Chicago Bulls defeated the Brooklyn Nets, 101 - 99, at United Center on Wednesday. The normally porous Nets (8 - 23), they of the lone road victory on the season, did n't give an inch Wednesday, holding the Bulls (16 - 16) to sub - 40 percent tallies from the field and three - point range and eliciting 18 turnovers from their hosts. However, as time wound down, the one player they'd failed to hold down throughout the night, Jimmy Butler, ultimately did them in. His jumper as time expired snapped a 99 - 99 deadlock and capped off a 40 - point effort, while carrying Chicago back to .500 on the season. Brook Lopez had a remarkable night of his own for the visitors, tallying 33 points, four assists and three rebounds. Sean Kilpatrick was a distant second with 18 points, six assists, three rebounds and a steal. Bojan Bogdanovic went for 10 points, two assists and two rebounds. Trevor Booker mustered a modest six points but hauled in 14 boards and added two assists and a block. Randy Foye led the bench with 11 points, five rebounds, an assist and a steal. Butler added 11 boards, four assists and four steals to round out his spectacular stat line. Dwyane Wade went for 16 points, four boards and an assist. Robin Lopez turned in 12 points, while Rajon Rondo collected only five points but also supplied 12 assists, nine rebounds and a pair of steals. The Nets head to the Nation's Capital to take on the Wizards on Friday evening, while the Bulls visit the Indiana Pacers on Friday night as well.
