NEW YORK _ On a Saturday evening the Bulls could've clinched a playoff berth, they instead reverted to bad habits.
With Dwyane Wade back from his fractured right elbow, the Bulls blew a nine-point lead in the final 4:24 and lost 107-106 to the Nets.
Spencer Dinwiddie, a training camp cut of the Bulls, sank a tying 3-pointer late and the go-ahead free throws en route to his 19 points.
Jimmy Butler's 33 points led the Bulls, who committed 17 turnovers. Wade finished with 14 points, seven rebounds and five turnovers in 24 minutes.
"Finding a way to win, that's the one thing I've seen," Wade said about his 11-game absence, during which the Bulls went 7-4. "I think these guys have done a good job of getting to their game. (Rajon) Rondo has done a good job at the point of leading a team. Jimmy (Butler) has been phenomenal. And other guys have chipped in when they need to. Niko (Mirotic) has been great as well. Bobby (Portis) has been good. You can see guys' confidence coming. And it's a good time for that as you try to get this playoff spot."
With Rondo out for his second straight game with a sprained right wrist, Jerian Grant started.
