The Bulls had a prime opportunity to knock off the Nets in their post-firing bump game, but instead Chicago suffered a 110-107 loss despite 29 Brooklyn turnovers. The Bulls are now 0-21 (!) against Eastern Conference playoff teams.
While the Bulls took a whopping 28 more shots than the Nets, the home team went 35-of-41 from the free-throw line and made half of the 64 shots they did get up. The Bulls took care of the ball all game (seven turnovers), but their shooting stunk without Zach LaVine once again until a final surge gave them a chance.
