After an impressive victory against the Indiana Pacers on Wednesday with a new-look starting lineup, the Chicago Bulls couldn’t close out preseason on a winning streak, losing to the visiting Denver Nuggets 98-93.
Entering game two with Jabari Parker coming off the bench, the Bulls continued with a nice offensive flow from their previous outing, leading early in the first quarter.
Then the turnovers started to pile up.
Throwing the ball away six times in the first quarter, gifting the Nuggets 10 free points off their own careless mistakes, the visitors took a 33-24 lead at the end of the period and never looked back.
