Jeremy Lin and the Brooklyn Nets had their doors blown off by Jimmy Butler, Dwyane Wade, and the Chicago Bulls on Monday night.
- Brooklyn Nets 88 (1-3)
- Chicago Bulls 118 (3-0)
- NBA, Final, Box Score
- Barclays Center, Brooklyn, New York
It was all Chicago Bulls from jump street on Monday night. With Brook Lopez back in action — after being held back by the organization against the Milwaukee Bucks — Kenny Atkinson’s squad couldn’t muster a decent effort.
Jimmy Butler poured in 22 points while adding six rebounds and two assists. Seven Bulls players scored double-digits, one of whom was Dwyane Wade (12 points).
For Brooklyn, Bojan Bogdanovic led the way with a mere 15 points on 5-of-11 from the floor (2-4 from 3-point range). Jeremy Lin added 14 points, four assists, and four steals, one of which came in the first quarter when Wade became a little lazy with the ball:
Great job by Jeremy Lin and Joe Harris in transition. Solid finish. #Nets #BrooklynGrit pic.twitter.com/Gjyn32FdJo

Next up for Brooklyn will be a Wednesday date with the Detroit Pistons at the Barclays Center.
Not the way Taj Gibson and D-Wade drew it up, but the #Bulls will take it. #Nets trail by nine early on.@zach__cronin pic.twitter.com/ps5gYoZuwv
