KD on a personal 7-0 run, after the #Nets fell behind 64-46. They still haven’t found any answers defensively though. – 9:02 PM

This feels very similar to Monday’s game against the Cavaliers — every Bulls player to see the court has scored and four players are already in double digits.
The key, once again, is to actually continue this into the second half. – 8:58 PM

That Vucevic cut has the #Nets down 60-46. Jacque Vaughn calls a timeout with 4:31 left in the half. Brooklyn getting carved up to the tune of .649 shooting by the midrange monsters. – 8:57 PM

Ben Simmons is 1/13 from the free-throw line during Brooklyn’s win streak.
He’s 42.9% for the season. Was 60% for his career prior.
That’s becoming a significant area of concern for the Nets. – 8:45 PM

Strong start from Patrick Williams, who threw down a dunk after making his first two 3-pointers.
He’s been increasingly strong in first quarters — the real trick is maintaining that into the second half, where his scoring often sees a steep drop-off. – 8:21 PM

From @Kevin Durant pushing for someone else to take the shot (because it was better), to Jacque Vaughn going along with it to Kyrie making it — this was great. pic.twitter.com/86Sm58O4dH – 5:43 PM

“Not in this building, at least by an opponent I should say.” #Cavs coach J.B. Bickerstaff when asked could a player score 82 (Kobe Bryant scored 81) or 101 (Wilt Chamberlain scored 100).
Donovan Mitchell scored 71 in Monday’s OT win over Chicago.
“71 is a hell of a number.” – 5:26 PM

The last thing the Bulls need is another last-second thriller tonight against the Brooklyn Nets.
Those haven’t been going Chicago’s way this season, and NBA referees are partially to blame.

Both @_JasonLT and I agreed that we would have Kevin Durant as the midseason MVP right now. We explained why here in this video.
But why are KD’s full-season MVP odds so low? Last week, he was 25-1. Start of the week he was 9-1. That was 6th-best. Why?

Chuck Swirsky was calling Kobe’s 81-point game back in 2006.
Now with the Bulls, Chuck tells Frank Isola and Amin Elhassan what moment during Donovan Mitchell’s 71-point game he started feeling déjà vu.

Nets are tied for 27th with 10.8 second-chance points per game. Bulls have allowed at least 22 in 4 straight games.
(Bulls rank 29th with 10.6 per game so could be low-scoring 2nd-chance points night.) – 2:19 PM
