Welcome back, Brooklyn.

After blowing a 14-point lead and losing in triple overtime in Chicago, Brooklyn's men in black persevered during Game 5, Monday night, with a convincing 110-91 victory.

Nets center Brook Lopez led the comeback with 28 points and 10 rebounds, and fan favorite Deron Williams added 23 points and 10 assists. The Bulls kept it close through three, but the Nets pulled away with a 33-point fourth quarter.

The Nets head back to Chicago for Game 6, at 8 p.m. EST on Thursday, May 2. If they can pull out another win, the deciding Game 7 will be back at Barclays Center on Saturday, May 4.
