The Brooklyn Nets ( 8 - 20 ) defeated the Chicago Bulls ( 15 - 11 ) in a nail-biter , 105 - 102 . In the wake of Jimmy Butler calling out his coach for being a little too laid-back the Bulls succumbed to the 14th place Nets , Monday night in Chicago . The result however should be credited more to a strong game from Brooklyn than an overly poor performance by the Bulls . The Bulls have now lost three straight , while Brooklyn snapped a five - game losing streak.Jimmy Butler led the Bulls once again , finishing with 24 points ( 11 - 20 FG,1 - 6 3Pt ) , four assists , three rebounds , one steal and one block . As long as he continues to lead by example , Butler 's right to voice his opinion towards his teammates or coach will likely not be frowned upon . Pau Gasol finished with 20 points ( 8 - 16 FG , 4 - 6 FT ) , nine rebounds , three assists and two blocks , after doing battle with big Brook Lopez all night . Doug McDermott chipped in 11 points ( 4 - 9 FG , 3 - 6 3Pt ) , five rebounds and two assists , in 25 minutes . The Bulls assisted on 32 of their 43 made field goals . Brooklyn came out strong on the second night of a back-to-back , getting up 29 - 22 by the end of the first quarter . The Nets were hungrier in this one and as a result very active on the glass , grabbing 51 rebounds . Six players scored in double digits , while they were led by Brook Lopez who finished with 21 points ( 8 - 18 FG , 5 - 6 FT ) , 12 rebounds , three blocked shots , two assists and two steals . Thaddeus Young also recorded a double-double with 16 points ( 8 - 15 FG ) and 13 rebounds , including six offensive , and three steals . Wayne Ellington shot 3 - 5 from long range , on his way to 13 points , along with four rebounds , two assists and one steal , in 28 minutes . Next up the Nets will host the Mavericks on Wednesday .
