The Chicago Bulls responded to Saturday's series opening loss against the Brooklyn Nets with a 90-82 victory on Monday night at the Barclays Center. The victory was due in large part to a rejuvenated performance from injured center Joakim Noah.

Noah, who hobbled on an injured foot in Game 1, made three key fourth-quarter baskets for the Bulls en route to their victory. The all-star recorded a double-double scoring 11 points and grabbing 10 rebounds.

Luol Deng also ended the night with a double-double of his own. The small forward recorded a team-best 15 points and grabbed 10 rebounds, while also recording four assists, a steal and two blocks.

Chicago was threatened by strong scoring performances by Brook Lopez (21 points) and Joe Johnson (17 points) for Brooklyn. However, the Bulls were fortunate to hold star point guard Deron Williams to just eight points, forcing the guard to go 1-9 from the field.

The series will resume with Game 3 being played at the United Center in Chicago on Thursday at 8:30 P.M. ET on NBATV.
