NBA Betting Lines Bulls vs Nets Game 5

It took three overtimes for the Chicago Bulls to get rid of the Brooklyn Nets in game four, but they finally did it.  Game five of the series starts Monday at 7 PM ET at Barclays Center.

The star of the night was Nate Robinson who carried the team to rally in the final minutes of the fourth quarter despite they were down by 14 points; he scored 12 of those.

“I always think I’m on fire, kind of like the old school game NBA Jam,” he said. “You make a couple in a row, the rim’s on fire. You shoot the ball, the ball’s on fire. I feel like that at times — all the time. Whenever I’m in the game, I just play with a lot of confidence. You kind of have to lie to yourself and feel like you can’t miss.”

Brooklyn did a heck of a job and probably deserved to win, but they blew a comfortable lead and now they are 3-1 down in the series.

“We made a lot of mistakes up 14,” Deron Williams said. “It was so long ago, I can’t remember what all went on. We had the missed dunk. Missed free throws. I fouled Nate on the 3. We made a lot of mistakes in the fourth quarter.”

“Honestly, this is definitely a game we let get away,” Joe Johnson said. “It’s disappointing, but the series isn’t over.”

The Nets are 5.5 favorites for game 5, and the game total is set at 180.
