The Brooklyn Nets defeated the Chicago Bulls, 125-108, at Barclays Center on Friday night.

The Nets (29-45) and Bulls (35-39) unsurprisingly opened the game trading blows throughout the first two quarters, with the inconsistent squads entering halftime separated by just five points. Chicago's 52-47 lead at intermission would quickly evaporate, however, as Brooklyn racked up 39 points apiece in the third and four quarters to eventually win going away.

DeMar DeRozan led the Bulls with 31 points, adding eight rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block. Coby White furnished 18 points, nine assists and two rebounds. Ayo Dosunmu supplied 16 points, three rebounds and three assists. Nikola Vucevic generated a 13-point, 10-rebound double-double that included four assists and one block.

Cam Thomas paced the Nets with 28 points, supplementing them with eight boards, four assists and one steal. Dennis Schroder registered 27 points, seven assists, five rebounds and one steal. Mikal Bridges finished with 25 points, three rebounds, three assists and four steals. Dorian Finney-Smith recorded 12 points, three rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block. Nic Claxton and Trendon Watford produced matching 11-point, four-assist efforts while pulling down 13 and five rebounds, respectively.

The Bulls remain on the road and visit the Minnesota Timberwolves on Sunday night, while the Nets host the Los Angeles Lakers on Sunday evening.
