Rose finally put the Bulls ahead with a basket at 94-93, but Harris responded with a drive, and Douglas-Roberts sank a jumper for a three-point Nets' lead with 2:10 left.

"When we make a run like that at home, we got to think mentally we have the advantage. We could never pull it together," said Chicago's Joakim Noah, who suggested his team's effort wasn't good enough over the entire game.

"It never feels good to lose to the team with the worst record in the NBA," he added. "It hurts."

Notes

Entering the game, the Nets were averaging an NBA-low 87.6 points per game. The Bulls were two from the bottom at 90.4. ... Chicago rookie Gibson scored a career-high 20 on 8-of-12 shooting after he was replaced in the starting lineup by Brad Miller.
