Nets survive blown 20-point lead to stop Bulls

Michael Porter Jr. scored 26 points, including the go-ahead layup with 5.4 seconds remaining, as the host Brooklyn Nets eked out a 112-109 victory over the Chicago Bulls after blowing a 20-point lead Friday night.

After rookie Drake Powell's 11-footer was blocked by Jalen Smith, Tre Jones sped in for a layup to give the Bulls a 109-108 lead with 11.4 seconds left. Brooklyn used its final timeout, and Porter drove to the rim against Ayo Dosunmu and hit a difficult layup after getting a pass from rookie Nolan Traore.
