Finished 12-20 Nice game

 

Bulls had just 7 turnovers

 

I don't like this. Looks like a ligament sprain.

 

Ya it does usually the next day is when the player will really notice it.

 

Markkanen scores 32, Bulls beat Magic 90-80

Whether it was driving inside for a poster-worthy dunk or burying 3-pointers, Lauri Markkanen did exactly what the Chicago Bulls needed him to do.

Markkanen scored a season-high 32 points and the Bulls won for just the third time in 15 games, beating the Magic 90-80 on Friday night.
