US EditionPorter scores 33 points to lead Nets past Bulls 113-103 for their 2nd straight win
- On Wednesday night, Michael Porter Jr. scored 33 points and grabbed 10 rebounds to lead Brooklyn Nets to a 113-103 win at the United Center, Chicago.
- Facing multiple absences, the Bulls entered the game shorthanded after missing seven injured players and losing rookie forward Noa Essengue for the season due to left-shoulder surgery.
- Behind torrid perimeter shooting, Brooklyn pulled away as Porter hit four of five 3-pointers in the second half, Brooklyn shooting included 14 second-half threes, and Chicago turnovers yielded 20 points.
- As a consequence, the Nets gained momentum and the Bulls' slide continued with the Bulls falling to 9-12 and their losing streak hitting five games.
- Brooklyn's immediate challenge is a Thursday-night game at home against Utah, while Chicago hosts Indiana on Friday and plans to use next week's off-days for rest and practice.
