Another 3 by Lopez lol

 

3:10 28-19 Bulls

Markkanen 8, Lopez 7

 

end of 1 38-28 Bulls

 

Halftime 68-65 Bulls

 

Yeah, this is really nice, but wait until they play the better teams in the East.

Oh wait.

 

First half: 17 pts 6-8, 5-6 in 3's! 6 boards 1 blk

 

Ya. I want the Bulls to play hard all of the time. They are tonight. 52% 60% in 3's, they won't do that every game.

 

Wow.

 

Why doesn't Grant play that aggressive more often?
