The Chicago Bulls dropped their second straight preseason game tonight against the New Orleans Pelicans. Here are player grades from the loss.

Tonight’s preseason game had a very regular-season vibe to it. I guess that’s what happens when Zion Williamson comes to town.

The Chicago Bulls weren’t fazed by Hurricane Zion, though. Besides the fourth-quarter collapse by some fringe NBA guys, the Bulls were dominant. The offense was firing on all cylinders. They moved the ball extremely well, shot the three-ball efficiently and attacked the basket when necessary.

Had Chicago’s bench guys not been outscored 41-18 in the fourth quarter, the game would’ve been a blowout in the Bulls’ favor.

Here are player grades from tonight’s loss to the Pels.
