OSS: Bulls play hero defense in the last possession to avoid giving away a game they commanded nearly the entire time.
1. Nikola Mirotic started for the 4th time in his career and was quite good. Niko lead the Bulls with 19 points on 6-11 shooting (3-4 from 3) and adding 9 rebounds. His ability to shoot the 3 from anywhere should open up driving lanes for the guards on the team.
2. It's abundantly clear that Jimmy Butler is the best player on the team. His defense on LeBron wasn't as good as it's been previously, but he's one of the very few people in the league that you can put on him and be reasonably sure he's not going to explode.
