The Bulls Monday were mostly awful against the Sacramento Kings.
Which was actually the good news. Other than, of course, the Bulls’ 109-102 victory, their third straight.
“We played well for about six minutes tonight,” agreed Bulls coach Fred Hoiberg. “Thankfully, it was the last six minutes of the game.”
That was a wonderful stretch, a 19-7 close to the game with Derrick Rose and Jimmy Butler making big play after big play, Rose hitting three of five shots in yet another excellent shooting game, including consecutive jump shots with the Bulls trailing 95-94 with five minutes left.
