I'm very concerned. All it took was wins over the Pistons, Rockets, and strug-gle-ing Nuggets to get stuff like 'season saved' and picking out small samples ...

It’ll be a close game and one the Bulls will likely lose, but they will have put up a good net rating. They have the best offense in basketball, but the 26th defense. They beat the Bulls in early December if you can remember that far back (I can’t, But this stuff is going to go from the Bulls media’s mouths to AK’s mouth (bypassing the ears, no brain folks) in between sighs.

Every game is crucial down the stretch of the season especially given where Chicago is in the playoff race. Nikola Vucevic had a double double of 20 points and 14 rebounds while also adding three assists, but went just 8 of 22 from the field and missed all seven of his attempts from deep. Dalen Terry got some minutes in this game with Billy Donovan only playing four guys off the bench and Alex Caruso out for the game. Zach LaVine finished with 25 points and six assists went just 7 of 22 from the field including two of seven from three, decent numbers but not like his so-far scintillating March.

Kings coach Mike Brown challenged the call, but it was unsuccessful after the officials reviewed the play.
