"CHICAGO - The Nets have their first winning streak of the season. Brooklyn cruised to a 113-103 victory in Chicago before 20,633 at the United Center, that was their second in a row, and far easier than it sounds. The Nets (5-16) led by 19 in the fourth quarter and had the game well in hand against an injury-riddled Bulls team."
"Michael Porter Jr. poured in a game-high 33 points, 10 rebounds and five assists, continuing to play at an All-Star level as if he weren't on a tanking team. Noah Clowney had 20 points and seven boards while Nic Claxton put together another all-around performance with 14 points, nine assists, eight rebounds, three blocks and two steals. But most of all, it was a solid defensive outing that strangled the short-handed Bulls."
