Steve Nash said Thursday night’s game against the Bulls shouldn’t be viewed as a statement game. Instead, it was much more. It was a Brooklyn bombardment.
The Nets put on a dazzling performance, blowing out the East-best Bulls, 138-112 in Chicago. The 138 points are the most points scored by the Nets in Chicago in franchise history and most this season. With the victory, Brooklyn improves to 26-14 on the season and bumps their league-best road record to 15-4. After the win, the Nets trail Chicago by a game and a half for the top seed in the East.
