The Nets is definitely the more overrated team. However, the Chicago Bulls have interesting statistics when they have an almost undefeated record against the three "eastern giants" namely the Boston Celtics, Brooklyn Nets and Milwaukee Bucks (won 8 - lost 1).

With the home field advantage, the Bulls played well from the beginning to hold a 16-point advantage. Many Chicago players contribute to a high level of efficiency on the field, both offensively and defensively.

Meanwhile, the Brooklyn Nets relied heavily on Kevin Durant, who had a very good throw feeling with 28 points through the first two innings but could not match the collective strength of his opponent.

The third half saw the Nets resurgence when they defended more firmly, holding the Chicago Bulls down to only 19 points and shortening the gap to 3 points (score 85-88).

In the last half, the home team took advantage of Kevin Durant's rare break to set up a series of 8-0 points, re-establishing the 11-point advantage and then won the final with a score of 121-112.

This victory helped the Chicago Bulls regain their spirits and broke the Brooklyn Nets' longest 12-game unbeaten streak this season.

The Brooklyn Nets have three players with over 20 points, led by 44 points (15-22 FG, 5-10 3PT) with four rebounds and five assists from Kevin Durant. Kyrie Irving scored 25 points and 8 assists. Thrower Seth Curry contributed 22 points with 6-7 3PT from the bench.

The Chicago Bulls also have 3 players scoring over 20 points, Patrick Williams, DeMar DeRozan (both with 22 points) and Nikola Vucevic (21 points, 13 rebounds).

But behind this trio are 3 other names scoring over 10 points including Zach LaVine (13 points, 4 assists), Coby White (10 points) and Ayo Dosunmu (17 points, 7 rebounds). It was this evenness that helped the Bulls outperform the Brooklyn Nets for most of the game.
