* With a 110-95 victory on January 23, the Bulls have won their last three games versus New Jersey. Chicago has not won four consecutive games in the series since a seven-game spree between 1997 and 1999.
* The Bulls have won their last 33 games when leading after the first period. No other team currently sports an active streak longer than five such games (Bucks, 76ers).
* The Nets have fashioned a higher three-point percentage than their opponent in each of their past seven games, the longest active streak in the league.
* Derrick Rose has combined at least 25 points and 10 assists in each of his past two games. He's the only player in the league with four such games in 2011-12.
* While Kyle Korver has connected on just nine of 35 (.257) three-point attempts at home, he leads the league with 37 field goals from beyond the arc on the road (52.1 percent).
* Deron Williams' 21-point, 11-assist effort on Saturday represented his fifth 20-10 game of the season, exceeding the output by all Nets combined (four) in 2010-11.
