Given the circumstances — playoffs on the line, home game against a shorthanded Bulls team — hard to believe what just happened. The Bulls turned a seven-point halftime lead into a 22-point blowout in the third quarter, as the Nets provided close to zero rim protection, slow defensive rotations, and almost as many turnovers (4) as field goals (5).

There have been bigger losses by point differential, but with the Nets didn’t just lose the game, they lost control of their playoff destiny. That’s the biggest loss of the season.
