Last night, your Chicago Bulls (now 2-6) fell 96-90 in overtime to DeMarcus Cousins and his New Orleans Pelicans (5-5). The Bulls took 42 three-point attempts, but only made 11 of them. Jerian Grant nearly got a triple-double in a nice active effort, but looked fairly rudderless doing it.
Grant, Valentine and Robin Lopez did a lot of gratuitous stat-padding late, and struggled to find Markkanen. The goal for everybody should be finding Markkanen. I know he had a rough shooting night, but his growth is the main reason to watch the Bulls now. Let the kid feast.
