Russell Leads Nets Over Bulls, Win 9th Straight At Home
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) — D’Angelo Russell scored 30 points, Shabazz Napier had 24 off the bench and the Brooklyn Nets beat the Chicago Bulls 122-117 on Tuesday night for their ninth straight win at home.
Rondae Hollis-Jefferson had 18 points and Joe Harris had 17 for the Nets, who have won 13 of their last 14 at Barclays Center and seven of eight overall.
It was an all-around strong performance, one night removed from a frustrating loss to the Celtics that came with six Nets sidelined by injuries.
Brooklyn started slow in the first quarter, shooting just 8 for 29 from the field, after losing at Boston on Monday night.
