It was the return of ‘The Big Three.” Sorta.
The Nets, behind a hot 26-point barrage in the fourth quarter, defeated the Bulls, 105-91. With the win, Brooklyn improves to 47-24 on the season while their home record rises to 27-8.
Brooklyn hit the final 12 minutes of play nursing a flimsy eight-point lead. While the “Big Three” were on the bench to start the fourth, the Nets’ second unit stepped up in a big way, behind the play of Jeff Green — who finished with 19 points on 7-of-8 shooting from the field and 5-of-6 from deep in 16 minutes off the bench.
