NEW YORK (AP) - Jimmy Butler scored 22 points and Dwyane Wade had 12 in the first road game with the Chicago Bulls, who improved to 3-0 by beating the Brooklyn Nets 118-88 on Monday night.
The Bulls had seven players in double figures, with Wade becoming the last of them when he left Bojan Bogdanovic behind with a crossover and was fouled on a drive to the basket in the fourth quarter.
Nikola Mirotic had 16 points and 10 rebounds, while Taj Gibson added 14 points and 11 boards for the Bulls.
After home victories against Eastern Conference playoff teams Boston and Indiana to open the season, the Bulls easily handled their road opener, leading by as many as 33 points.
Bogdanovic scored 15 points and Jeremy Lin had 14 for the Nets, who fell to 1-3.
HAWKS 106, KINGS 95
ATLANTA (AP) - Dwight Howard had 18 points, Kyle Korver and Dennis Schroder scored 17 points apiece, and the Hawks beat the Kings for their first 3-0 start in five seasons.

Rudy Gay scored 22 points for Sacramento (2-2), which led 81-79 after three quarters. Matt Barnes also scored 14 points, and Ben McLemore finished with 12.

TORONTO (AP) - DeMar DeRozan scored 33 points and Kyle Lowry had 29, leading Toronto to the victory.
