Brook Lopez played 22 minutes and scored 13 points on 5-of-11 shooting from the field and 3-of-3 shooting from the line with two rebounds and one block in the Nets’ 118-88 loss to the Bulls.

His low minutes total comes in a blowout, which should instill hope for owners. Lopez is coming off a game of rest, so he was fresh for this one but the game was out of hand in the third quarter. He is off to a rough start and it will be interesting to see how his minutes progress late in the season as the Nets seem to be in tank mode already.
