Outside of the return of Caris LeVert it was a night to forget for the Brooklyn Nets. They went down heavily to the Chicago Bulls in one of their worst performances of the season. Here’s how the loss unfolded.
1st Quarter:

Jarrett Allen attacking like a guard on the drive to the basket

- D’Angelo Russell with his patented fake and floater
- Smooth off-balance floater from Joe Harris
- A probing Russell hits another floater
- Rodions Kurucs is in pain on the defensive end but that doesn’t stop Jarrett Allen from dunking
- Allen Crabbe goes bang from three
- Make that 2/2 from the arc for the sharpshooter

- Nets down 32-27 at the end of the first
2nd Quarter:
- First Caris LeVert sighting at the 10.39 mark of the second quarter
