In a clash between two defensive-minded foes, the Brooklyn Nets dominated the Chicago Bulls by a score of 106-89 to take a 1-0 series lead.
During the first half of Game 1, the Nets got off to a hot start on both ends of the floor. Between holding the Bulls to 36.6-percent shooting to Brook Lopez and Deron Williams combining to score one less first-half point than the entire Bulls team, Brooklyn was sensational.
The crowd rewarded their efforts with cheers and consistent chants of "Brooklyn!"
During the first quarter, it was Lopez early and often, as he both altered shots defensively and found the bottom of the net on offense. He scored 13 points in the opening period, all the while keeping Joakim Noah off balance on both ends.
Paired with D-Will's nine points, the Nets' dynamic duo outscored the entire Bulls team in the first quarter by a margin of 22-14.
C.J. Watson continued the offensive onslaught during the second quarter, scoring 10 points against his former team. With his ability to spread the floor, Lopez and WIlliams continued their two-man show and extended Brooklyn's lead to double digits.
