Bad Omen: Nearly half (6 points out of 14) of Chicago’s Q1 offensive output was the direct result of a Boston Turnover – on three consecutive trips down the floor, and within the game’s first three minutes … and counter-intuitively, none of the triggering miscues was a “live-ball” TO.
The C’s were four-for-four from the floor with four TO’s after just eight possessions.
Interestingly, Coach Stevens chose to let his starting unit ride out that little storm – wisely, as it turned out, since that little “running of the Bulls” produced the game’s only ties (3) and lead changes (2).
