Bulls-Nets Preview

By ALAN FERGUSON
Posted Apr 03 2013 11:53PM

The Brooklyn Nets have managed to maintain their lead on a top-four spot in the Eastern Conference despite a lengthy road trip and Joe Johnson's five-game absence due to injury.

Health problems and road woes have hurt the Chicago Bulls' chances of catching them.

The status of Johnson and fellow starter Gerald Wallace is uncertain for the Nets' return home Thursday night to face the injury-plagued Bulls.

Brooklyn (43-31) went 5-3 during its longest road swing of the season, capping it Wednesday by avoiding a third straight loss with a 113-95 blowout of Cleveland.

"I would have taken a (one-point win), no questions asked when the game started," interim coach P.J. Carlesimo said. "To get a win where we were able to rest guys, you probably couldn't have written a better script."

MarShon Brooks led the way with a career-high 27 points on 12-of-16 shooting and Deron Williams contributed 24 while Johnson (bruised quad, sore heel) and Wallace (sore foot) sat out.

"The No. 1 thing is just getting guys healthy and seeing who's available," Carlesimo said before Wednesday's victory. "We've got to get through these next couple (of games) and hopefully we can take a deep breath and get situated."

The win over Cleveland and Atlanta's loss to New York on Wednesday moved the Nets two games ahead of the Hawks and 2 1/2 ahead of the idle Bulls (40-33) for fourth place in the East.

Chicago hasn't helped itself by dropping seven of nine on the road, and it lost another player in a 90-86 loss at Washington on Tuesday.

Taj Gibson re-aggravated a left knee injury that caused him to miss 10 games from Feb. 26-March 18.

"I just did a basic rotation and tried to slide, and it just buckled on me," Gibson said. "It was real painful. I tried to just play through it. I kind of got nicked up the last couple of games but kept playing.

"Hopefully it's not worse than before. But it was real painful. It's similar."

If he can't go Friday, Gibson would join Derrick Rose (knee), Joakim Noah (foot), Richard Hamilton (back) and Marco Belinelli (abdominal strain) on the list of Bulls forced to sit out with injuries.

"It's definitely another big blow," guard Kirk Hinrich said. "But we've got to hang together and find some healthy bodies. They guys that are out there have got to step up more. We've been short-handed all year. It's nothing new to us."

Noah proved pivotal in the Bulls' 96-85 win over Brooklyn on March 2 as he had 21 points on 10-of-13 shooting and 10 rebounds. Carlos Boozer contributed 20 points in his team's second victory in three matchups with the Nets this season.

Belinelli scored six points in the final 1:26 in an 83-82 home win Dec. 15.

The Bulls lost 93-89 in their first visit to Brooklyn on Feb. 1 as Brook Lopez scored 20 points in three quarters.

Boozer was forced to miss that game with an ailing hamstring. He's averaged 25.8 points on 67.9 percent shooting in his last four road games against the Nets. Boozer has six double-doubles in his last seven games overall.

Lopez and Williams keyed the Nets' solid play on the road trip, averaging 21.9 and 21.3 points, respectively.

Bulls rally from 16 down to beat Nets 92-90

NEW YORK (AP) Down five key players. Down 16 points. A lot for any team to overcome.

These Chicago Bulls are used to it.

"We fight to the end," forward Carlos Boozer said. "We've got some resilient guys in here."

Boozer had 29 points and 18 rebounds, Nate Robinson made the go-ahead basket with 22 seconds left, and the Bulls rallied to beat the Brooklyn Nets 92-90 on Thursday night in a potential preview of a first-round playoff series.

Jimmy Butler had 16 points and 10 rebounds, Luol Deng scored 18 points, and Robinson finished with 12 as the Bulls shook off the absences of the injured players to keep Indiana from clinching the Central Division title they've won the last two years.

Chicago pulled into a tie for fifth place with Atlanta and climbed within 1 1/2 games of the Nets for the No. 4 seed and home-court advantage in the first round.

And the Bulls did it without Derrick Rose, Joakim Noah, Taj Gibson, Richard Hamilton and Marco Belinelli, all starters or key members of their rotation. Plus, they lost starting point guard Kirk Hinrich to fouls with 3:38 remaining.

But they made more clutch plays down the stretch to pull out a game they never led until the final period.

"For us, it's big," Robinson said. "Kirk fouled out. You got Marco out. Rip out. D-Rose out. Taj out. Guys are just stepping up, man, and that's what teams do. You got Jo out and (Nazr Mohammed) stepping in for him. These guys are coming in and it's like old school wrestling. Tag team. You know when one guy goes in, tag him, the other guy go out. Back and forth. We just got to keep playing and keep doing that, we'll be OK."

Deron Williams had 30 points and 10 assists for the Nets, who had a disappointing return home from an eight-game road trip. Brook Lopez finished with 28 points, but he had a turnover and two misses in the final minute, including a corner jumper that went in and out that would have forced overtime.

"It's tough, just because our team was playing so well for the majority of the game and I contributed a lot to how the final score ended up and that's definitely not something I'm happy about," Lopez said.

The Nets took a 67-65 lead into the fourth when Hinrich fouled Williams behind the 3-point line with 0.3 seconds left in the third, an inexcusable way to pick up his fifth, and Williams made two of the three free throws.

Chicago finally took its first lead at 69-67 on Deng's basket 1:16 into the fourth and it was a four-point game either way from there. Williams gave the Nets a three-point lead with 52 seconds remaining, but Deng made a long jumper from the corner and Robinson turned Lopez's bad pass into a floater that put Chicago ahead 91-90 with 22 seconds left.

Lopez missed and Daequan Cook made a free throw to make it 92-90 with 5.5 seconds to play. Williams drove into the lane on the Nets' final possession and kicked it to a wide-open Lopez, but his jumper bounced out.

Joe Johnson, back in the starting lineup after missing five games with a sore left heel, scored 12 points in the Nets' first home game since March 17. They went 5-3 on their road trip and seemed headed toward an easy victory in their return home.

"It's tough. This is a game that we desperately needed considering where we are in the standings at this point, and in the first half we were pretty good," Johnson said. "And in the second half I just didn't think we pushed the ball as much as we did in the first and play as loose as we did in the first and it hurt us."

The Nets scored the first eight points, six by Lopez, and increased it to 18-4 as Chicago missed 10 of its first 12 shots. Lopez made his first six shots, was 8 of 9 for 18 points in the first quarter, and Brooklyn was ahead 26-13. He was only 1 of 4 in the second as the Bulls' defense tightened, and the Nets took a 47-36 lead to halftime.

Chicago kept chipping away in the third, finally tying it at 65 on Butler's 3-pointer with 3.6 seconds left in the third.

Seemingly always battling injuries, the Bulls reported some good news Thursday when coach Tom Thibodeau said Gibson's knee injury from Tuesday in Washington was just a slight sprain. Gibson had recently missed 10 games with a sprained ligament and felt similar pain when he was hurt Tuesday, but Thibodeau said he is day to day.

He also said Rose looks better and more comfortable on the court, and is just waiting for when the former league MVP feels he is ready to go after missing all season while recovering from major knee surgery.

The Bulls remain tough to beat even without him.

NOTES: Chicago won the season series 3-1 and is a game behind the Nets in the loss column for the fourth spot. ... Gerald Wallace was back in the Nets' lineup after missing one game with a sore left foot, scoring four points.

Notebook: Bulls 92, Nets 90

Devin Kharpertian, for NBA.com
Posted Thu Apr 04, 2013 11:18 PM - Updated Thu Apr 04, 2013 11:18 PM

THE FACTS: In the fourth and final regular season meeting between these two teams this season, the Chicago Bulls won a 92-90 thriller that went down to the final possession. The Bulls scored the final five points, taking the lead for good on a Nate Robinson floater over Brook Lopez's outstretched fingertips. The Nets had a chance to tie it in the final seconds, but an open Lopez jumper rimmed out as time expired. The Bulls were powered by Carlos Boozer, who finished with 29 points and 18 rebounds, while the Nets got big games from Deron Williams (30 points, 10 assists) and Lopez (28 points, 5 rebounds).

QUOTABLE: "We started off so soft defensively and low energy on offense and that's a tough combination. THe good thing was that we changed it. We had a lot of guys step up and do a good job."
-- Chicago Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau.

THE STAT: The Nets turned the ball over eight times in the first three quarters combined... and eight more times in the fourth quarter alone.

INSIDE THE ARENA: Former star of "The Sopranos" James Gandolfini and WWE wrestler Randy Orton were in attendance.

THE STAT: Boozer's double-double was his 38th of the season.

QUOTABLE II: "Let's start with the post-up, I felt like I was in the key for a little, so I was looking through my options of where to kick it out to, I was trying to find D-Will (Williams) or Joe (Johnson), it was just a terrible play on my part. The next play D-Will hit me with a good pass, I didn't finishes throng though and the same thing happened on the third play, I got a good look and it didn't go down. But at that point though you can't really blame the last play for what happened previously."
-- Brooklyn Nets center Lopez on the game's final few possessions.

NOTABLE: Nets guard Joe Johnson returned to the starting lineup after missing the past five games with a quad contusion and sore heel. Johnson scored just one point in the first half before hitting three three-pointers in the fourth quarter to help keep the Nets afloat. Johnson finished with 12 points on 4-11 shooting. The Bulls' win improved their record to 41-33, making them the fifth seed in the Eastern Conference and pulling them within 1.5 games of Brooklyn for the fourth seed. The Bulls also own the tiebreaker, so should the teams end the season with the same record, Chicago would have home-court advantage in the playoffs.

UP NEXT: For the Bulls, Friday vs. Orlando, Sunday @ Detroit, Tuesday vs. Toronto. For the Nets, Saturday vs. Charlotte, Tuesday vs. Philadelphia, Wednesday @ Boston.
