The Nets won 118-109 to sweep this back-to-back. Didn't look good after trailing by 21 points but it helps when you make 25 3s 24 pts Dinwiddie 20 pts Walker/O'Neale (six 3s for each)
The Nets would now be helped on Tuesday if that Bulls team they embarrassed with 25 3-pointers tonight picks itself up and beats the Celtics in Boston on the final night of group play in the In-Season Tournament. Yeah, probably not.
Nets 118, Bulls 109 Bulls lose 4th straight and 7th in 8 games Bulls blow 21-point, first-quarter lead
Nets have mostly gone 8 deep this game and all but Finney-Smith/Sharpe have scored in double figures. Both have 9. Just incredible balance as this lead is up to 16 with 434 left.
Nets 96, Bulls 83 after three. Lonnie Walker's got a career-high tying 6 threes en route to 20 points. Dinwiddie 19 points, O'Neale 17 points
Since you might be curious. Nets' franchise-record for 3s in a game is 27. That's definitely in play tonight 21 so far.
Nets have tied that season-high with 21 3s. Every player who's played has made at least 1 three except for Day'Ron Sharpe. 91-78 lead on Chicago.
Nets have an opponent-season-high 21 3-pointers In the 3rd quarter
Btw, Nets' season high for 3s in a game is 21. Pretty sure they'll pass that with 18 so far.
Nets are up 27-5 this quarter
And the Nets have climbed back from a 21-point hole to tie this game at 41. Insane.
Bulls have missed 5 straight 3-pointers after opening 8-10
Bulls give up two offensive rebounds and Nets convert third 3-pointer on same possession to make it a one-possession game.
Bulls' 21-point lead down to single digits.
Bulls are now 8-10 on 3s. It's like we're back in Atlanta with all this rain from deep. 28-9 lead and the Nets look sluggish on Night 2 of a Back to Back
