Efficient shooting nights play a key role in the Bulls offensive success
The Bulls offense has been firing on all cylinders for much of the season, and this one was no exception. Still, not everyone was in a groove offensively.
Veteran wing Garrett Temple struggled from the floor, shooting 2-10 in 36 minutes. Wendell Carter Jr. also had his struggles shooting, going 3-11 from the field. Carter Jr. did make sure to make an impact on the glass, though, grabbing 15 rebounds in his 27 minutes.
Despite the struggles from a few players, the Bulls still managed to shoot 51.1 percent from the field. How? Very strong nights from a few key players. LaVine’s night that was already mentioned led the way, but he got quite a bit of support in this one.
Coby White shot 50 percent overall by knocking down 8 of 16 shots on the night. Additionally, Thaddeus Young‘s exceptional play continued behind an 8-10 shooting night. Rookie Patrick Williams rounded it out with a 6-7 performance.
The great shooting night from these players played a massive role in the Bulls building the big lead that they were able to hold onto.
