The Bulls Wednesday defeated the Brooklyn Nets 115-100 for just the Bulls’ second 2-0 start in the last 13 years.
“Guys are continuing to work on their games; they are knocking down shots and getting guys open in rhythm. That’s team basketball,” said Jimmy Butler, who led the Bulls with 24 points, six assists and a dominant defensive effort against Joe Johnson. “If we continue to play like that, I think we are going to be hard to beat.”
But it was more than just the result and the encouraging start to the season:
- Butler and Rose fit seamlessly as the guard duo combining to shoot 14 for 22 with 39 points and nine assists.
