PHOENIX – The noise of acknowledgement and immediate smirk said it all for Tre Jones.
“Mmmm,” the Bulls guard leaked out as the standings update was presented to him just minutes after he dropped 18 points and handed out 12 assists in the win over the Jazz.
Not information that was necessary because Jones knew exactly where he and his teammates stood in the Eastern Conference, jumping Miami to grab the No. 9 seed late Monday night.
“We’re definitely talking about it,” Jones said with a grin.
