by CHICAGO (AP) -- Down and just about out, the Brooklyn Nets are suddenly on quite a roll.
And it just might carry them to the next round.
Deron Williams, Brook Lopez and Joe Johnson each scored 17 points, and the Nets again avoided elimination, beating the short-handed Chicago Bulls 95-92 Thursday to tie their first-round series at 3.
The series goes back to Brooklyn for Game 7 on Saturday, with the winner getting defending champion Miami in the second round.
''We just believed,'' Johnson said. ''We believed in one another. In practice (Wednesday), we went over a lot. More so than anything, it was about who wanted it badder.''
