Anytime a star player isn’t getting up as many shots as they should, it’s a problem. Such was the case after the Bulls 96-93 loss to Brooklyn Nets, when Lauri Markkanen had only had 6 attempts in the entire game with 1 of them coming after the first quarter. That changed for the better in the Bulls 90-80 win against the Orlando Magic.
After starting 1 of 7 from the field, Markkanen caught fire and tore it up for the rest of the game, hitting the next 11 of his 13 shots to finish with 32 points, including this vicious dunk on Nikola Vucevic which got the United Center crowd on its feet.
