After another trade deadline of not making any moves, the pressure was on the Chicago Bulls to perform on National TV against a Brooklyn Nets team who arguably had the most chaotic week of any in the NBA. By the time the final buzzer ended, it finished with a score 116-105 Brooklyn as the Bulls lost their second straight on the road.
Things looked bright at the beginning with Chicago racing out to an early lead but Brooklyn struck back in the second quarter to go up three at halftime. The Bulls came out energized after the break and thanks to scorching shooting from Zach LaVine were able to re-take the lead heading into the fourth as Zach had 32 entering the final period.
