What in the world happened in that third quarter?
32-22.
That was the scoring in the third quarter, with the Bulls having the advantage in the frame (along with a six-point lead entering the final quarter).
How did the Bulls take it to the best third quarter team in the league?
They have Jerian Grant. That’s how.
Horace Grant’s nephew gave Stephen Curry the business in a third quarter where the Bulls scored 32 points and forced six Warriors turnovers to grab control of the contest.
A weird note from the frame: Rajon Rondo did most of his contributing in the quarter, as he scored eight points and dished out three assists on the night. (He also took three free throws, which never happens.)
This ended up being the difference in the game, seeing as the Bulls scored more points in the third quarter (32) than both teams scored combined in the fourth quarter (29).
The majesty of the #TNTBulls winning streak was on full display in the third quarter. Good things randomly happening, Jerian Grant crossing over a two-time NBA MVP, Rajon Rondo contributing things … it was just weird.
