One night after turnovers and offensive rebounds doomed the Bulls against the Raptors, Chicago flipped the script. And with Zach LaVine, not DeMar DeRozan, leading the way.
With nine points on 2-for-6 shooting for the evening, DeRozan set a new single-game low for field goal attempts in his Bulls tenure. But he also tallied six assists and rebounds apiece, and, by his mere presence, freed up countless opportunities for his teammates.The difference for the Bulls in this one was others stepped up. In the first quarter, LaVine , Goran Dragić and Javonte Green combined for 24 points as the Bulls pulled ahead 30-27 entering the second.
added five quick points on and and-one layup and fastbreak dunk to open the second quarter and the Bulls' bench was rolling, even playing without Andre Drummond for the sixth straight game. By halftime, the Bulls' bench held a 25-16 scoring advantage, and ended the game 35-28 in that department. Jones led the way with 12 points, while Dragić added nine and Green eight.That aforementioned DeRozan and-one put the Bulls ahead 13 points with less than three minutes to play in the first half.
