Chicago held Brooklyn to 29 points on 26.2 per cent shooting (11 for 42) in the final two periods.They came out with a lot of energy. They got us back on our heels, Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau said.

Jimmy Butler had 18 points, Pau Gasol added 16 points and 16 rebounds, and Mike Dunleavy scored 14 points. Taj Gibson finished with 11 points and 10 boards.The third quarter, we really got into it, said Gibson, who also matched a career high with six blocked shots. We tried to be a dominant team on rebounding, tried to just finish strong.Deron Williams led Brooklyn with 17 points, but the Nets dropped their third straight. Kevin Garnett scored 13 points, and Alan Anderson had 12.They turned up their defence and they put on a block party, Brooklyn coach Lionel Hollins said.Garnett left in the fourth quarter because of a left foot injury. The team said X-rays were negative, and Garnett said he was all right.Chicago grabbed control with a 17-3 run in the third quarter.Rose made a 3-pointer, and Gibson had a big dunk before Gasol capped the surge with four straight points, including two foul shots that made it 70-58 with 3:32 to go.It just got worse for injury-riddled Brooklyn in the final period, with Chicago scoring 15 straight points to increase its advantage to 101-73 with 3:17 to go. Butler finished the run with a jumper.Its a work in progress, Garnett said. Weve got to continue to work. It doesnt help that guys are out of the lineup so weve all got to continue to come in here, continue to work, and try to get better.The 25-point margin was the biggest win of the season for Chicago, which also beat Brooklyn 102-84 on Nov. 30. The Bulls had allowed at least 100 points in four of their previous six games, but Rose said the work in practice on Monday and Tuesday helped them turn it around.We did a lot of defensive drills, Rose said. I think he (Thibodeau) was just trying to make us be aggressive while we were out there instead of just holding back and letting them walk wherever they want to go, run wherever they want to go.___MISSINGThe Nets played without forward Mirza Teletovic, who was sidelined by a right hip pointer.

An own goal from Lens defender Jean-Philippe Gbamin handed Lyon the lead after 22 minutes, while Alexandre Lacazette continued his scoring binge with a successful penalty kick four minutes later, giving him 20 goals on the season. Lens remains one point from safety with the defeat, while second-place Marseille hosts Guingamp on Sunday in an effort to keep pace with Lyon. The visitors looked like the more dangerous side from the start, but they got a bit of help in taking the lead after 22 minutes when a cross from Nabil Fekir was redirected into his own net by Gbamin, whose attempted clearance looped over the head of goalkeeper Rudy Riou. Lyon extended its lead just four minutes later when a cross from Christophe Jallet was delivered to the back post for Lacazette, with Lens defender Boubacar Sylla handling the ball as he attempted to head it to safety. Lacazette made no mistake from the spot, sending Riou the wroong way to make it 2-0, while Lyon goalkeeper Anthony Lopes came to the rescue just before halftime to clear a poor pass from Jallet.dddddddddddd Lopes also made a big save to deny Pablo Chavarria after he burst through on goal, and Lacazette nearly made it 3-0 in the 70th minute when he rounded Riou but could only hit the outside of the net from a tight angle. Montpellier moved into sixth place after a 3-2 comeback win at Metz that saw Lucas Barrios score a hat trick, including a pair of goals in the second half to help Montpellier overcome a 2-1 deficit at the break. Monaco closed to within three points of third-place St Etienne after edging Nantes, 1-0, with a 73rd-minute goal from Bernardo Silva, while Raphael Guerreiros second-half tally was enough to see Lorient past Lille, 1-0. Caen remains in last place in Ligue 1, but the club secured three big points on Saturday in a 4-1 win over Reims as the club scored three times in the first 30 minutes to move to within two points of safety, and Toulouse salvaged a 1-1 home draw with Bastia thanks to a goal from Martin Braithwaite 13 minutes from time.
