NEW YORK — That’s how you make an impression on your newest teammates.
With Mikal Bridges and Cam Johnson watching from the sidelines, the Nets lit up Barclays Center in a 116-105 victory over the Chicago Bulls on Thursday. It was an unlikely victory given the circumstances: The Nets had Kyrie Irving last Friday and moved Kevin Durant in a deal with the Phoenix Suns early Thursday morning.
Bridges and Johnson were the highlights of the Durant deal.
