You kidding me? Nets stun Bulls

Remember those Nets that went 0-18 for the worst start in NBA history? Now, they’re on a roll.They’ve put together two wins in their last three games, including their first road victory Tuesday night when they beat the struggling Bulls 103-101 behind Brook Lopez’s 25 points and a clutch go-ahead basket from Devin Harris. The Nets, who finally cracked the victory column by beating Charlotte before losing to the Knicks, are now 2-19 — including 1-12 away from home.The Bulls have eight losses in nine games.Derrick Rose, who had 11 of his 27 points in the final quarter, drove and banked in a high arching shot to give the Bulls a 100-99 lead with 19.5 seconds remaining.But Harris answered with a driving shot of his own with Rose guarding him, putting the Nets back up 101-100 with 14.9 seconds to go. After a timeout, the Bulls couldn’t get the ball back to Rose, who had been driving to the basket or getting in the lane for good shots.Instead John Salmons missed a 3-point attempt before Rafer Alston made two at the free throw line with 6.3 seconds remaining, giving New Jersey a 103-100 lead.After Alston’s free throws, Rose was fouled with 2.1 seconds to go. He made the first and missed the second intentionally before Lopez grabbed the rebound — his 10th of the game — as the buzzer sounded.Chris Douglas-Roberts added 20 points and Harris had 17 for New Jersey.Douglas-Roberts had three baskets as the Nets began the second half with a 10-0 run to pull out to a 64-54 lead, and they increased it to 12 on a basket by Lopez, who would later pick up his third and fourth fouls in the third quarter.The Nets led 80-70 after three, and when the Bulls missed four straight free throws to start the final period, the boos began to pour down at the United Center.Then the Bulls went on a 9-0 run.Taj Gibson sank a jumper, Rose drove for a basket, Deng dunked and Salmons hit a 3-pointer from the corner to cut the lead to one.Lopez picked up a loose ball to score for the Nets, but Deng hit another 3-pointer to tie the game at 82.Rose finally put the Bulls ahead with a basket at 94-93, but Harris responded with a drive, and Douglas-Roberts sank a jumper for a three-point Nets’ lead with 2:10 left.

NOTES—Entering the game, the Nets were averaging an NBA-low 87.6 points per game. The Bulls were two from the bottom at 90.4…..Gibson scored a career-high 20 on 8-of-12 shooting after he was replaced in the starting lineup by Brad Miller….The Bulls play the Hawks in Atlanta Wednesday night.
