The New Jersey Nets were much more competitive in the second quarter but were not able to put a dent in the huge lead the Chicago Bulls built in the first quarter. The Bulls shot 63.9% from the field in the first half and hit seven of 10 three-point attempts. Luol Deng, not too hampered by his wrist injury, apparently, has 13 points to lead the Bulls. Carlos Boozer has 12 points and five assists.
