Kevin Huerter added 18 points and nine
rebounds, and Tre Jones scored 18 points. Julian Phillips set
career highs with 16 points, seven rebounds and five assists.
Chicago is 10th in the Eastern Conference at 28-38 and holds the
final play-in spot.

assists, and Nic Claxton added 18 points and a season-best 14
rebounds. Tyrese Martin scored 19 points and Cam Johnson had 16,
but the Nets lost for the 10th time in 12 games.
Takeaways
Nets: The Nets once again couldn't protect a lead, letting a
12-point advantage slip away after Cleveland rallied from 18
down in the third to beat them on Tuesday night.
Bulls: Josh Giddey sat out this one after spraining his right
ankle against Indiana on Monday. The Bulls hope to get him back
during a season-high, six-game trip.
Key moment
The Nets led 92-80 in the closing minute of the third quarter,
only to have the Bulls answer with a 17-3 run. Brooklyn then led
101-99 with 4 1/2 minutes remaining when Chicago reeled off
eight straight points, with Jones’ reverse layup putting the
Bulls up by six with just under three minutes remaining.
Key stat
White is averaging 28.6 points in his past seven games.
Up next
Nets: Host Boston on Saturday.
Bulls: Open a season-high, six-game trip at Houston on Saturday.
