THE FACTS: Keeping the Brooklyn Nets out of the basket for most of the game, the host Chicago Bulls held on through their own pitiful offensive performance in the fourth quarter to record a 79-76 victory in Game 3 of the first-round playoff series. That win gives the Bulls a 2-1 lead in the best-of-seven series. The Nets shot just 28 percent through the first three quarters, but erased most of a 17-point deficit to crawl to within two points with five seconds remaining. C.J. Watson missed a wide open 3-pointer from the right corner at the buzzer. Carlos Boozer had 22 points and 16 rebounds for the Bulls. Brook Lopez had 22 points for the Nets.
