So will we look back at Dec. 4, 2021 as a day that will live in infamy for the Brooklyn Nets, the day that the torch was passed in the Eastern Conference with DeMar DeRozan and Zach LaVine again outplaying Kevin Durant and James Harden in Saturday's Bulls 111-107 victory over the Brooklyn Nets?
It was the second Bulls win this season over the conference favorite Nets, the Bulls thus already with the season series win and, if necessary, playoff tiebreaker with an average victory margin of 13.5 per game and DeRozan and LaVine once again the more reliable duo in the final throes of competition.
