fter being fouled with 4.9 seconds left Friday, Bulls guard Zach LaVine had an opportunity to redeem himself. It had been a rough fourth quarter for LaVine, who had missed some defensive assignments and couldn’t buy a basket.
LaVine made the first free throw to cut the Nets’ lead to two. Center Andre Drummond then checked in, signaling an intentional missed free throw was coming. LaVine missed the free throw and the Bulls got the rebound, but LaVine couldn’t make the jumper to send the game to overtime.
The Bulls’ 109-107 loss was a result of a bad defensive performance and an inability to knock down the three-point shot.
