Bulls beat Nets 124-102 to split home-and-home set

Key Highlights

• The Nets have lost nine of 11. Dosunmu had 3-pointers at the beginning and end of a 10-0 run late in the first quarter to help the Bulls take a 39-22 lead into the second.
• Chicago led 70-51 at the half and the advantage stayed above 20 points for most of the second half. The Bulls average more than 20,000 fans at the United Center, but there were plenty of empty seats at tip-off, which came 30 minutes after the Los Angeles Rams and Bears kicked off their NFC division round game a few miles away at Soldier Field.
• The Bears’ first touchdown occurred just before an early timeout and got a loud roar from the crowd when a replay was shown on the video board. Up nextNets: Host Phoenix on Monday night. Bulls: Host the Los Angeles Clippers on Tuesday night.___AP NBA: https://apnews. com/hub/nba.
