The Bulls aren’t shooting enough threes, and it cost them dearly against the Nets

I think in all the categories, rebounding everything, we beat them in almost every category. We just made seven 3s and they made 16.

Going 7-18 from three, the Bulls had no real chance of staying close to the Brooklyn Nets, who made 16 on more than double the attempts (46) to wind up winning 117-100. It’s not impossible, but winning a game of basketball when the opposing teams nearly makes as many threes as you attempt is hardly probable.

The loss against the Nets marked the seventh game this season with 20 or fewer attempts from distance — five of the seven games have come since Jim Boylen was named head coach.
