Keep repeating: The games don’t count, the games don’t count, the games…
And so the Bulls Thursday recorded their second consecutive loss to open the 2016-17 NBA preseason, 115-108 to the Indiana Pacers. It really didn’t mean too much with Jimmy Butler sitting out the second half with just one shot for the game and Rajon Rondo, who was the Bulls’ star in the game, playing just six second half minutes and scoreless after 14 first half points.
Spencer Dinwiddie led the Bulls with 19 points, 11 in the fourth quarter. Robin Lopez and Tony Snell had 11 each and Dwyane Wade and Taj Gibson 10 each.
