CHICAGO -- The Chicago Bulls snapped the Brooklyn Nets' 12-game winning streak with a 121-112 victory on Wednesday night, handing Brooklyn its first loss since Dec. 4.
Nets star Kevin Durant scored with 44 points on 15 of 22 shooting, but the Bulls halted the longest winning streak in the NBA this season by controlling the game from the start. The Bulls led by as many as 18 points and once they carried a 10-point lead into halftime, they never trailed, bouncing back from a pair of back-to-back losses against the Cavaliers.
