The Chicago Bulls added another disappointing loss to their 2019-20 resume tonight. Here are player grades from the gut-wrenching defeat.
Another day, another disheartening loss for the Chicago Bulls. Tonight, they started out hot. Wendell Carter Jr. was dominant. Zach LaVine was efficient. Otto Porter Jr. looked like the guy Bulls fans saw last year. It finally looked like the team was putting it all together.
The Bulls were even decent in the third quarter. They got outscored 32-28 but still entered the fourth quarter with a 13-point advantage. The fourth quarter is where it all fell apart.
The Lakers got huge minutes from Quinn Cook, Alex Caruso and Dwight Howard in the fourth quarter to help fuel their comeback. Then, when LeBron James re-entered the game, all he had to do was facilitate and keep the Lakers’ momentum going. Spoiler alert: He did exactly that.
Here are player grades from the Bulls’ brutal loss to the Lakers.
Next up for the Bulls is a road game against the buzzing Hawks. Will Chicago be able to turn things around?
