Let’s just get this over with quickly.
The Chicago Bulls had the second game of a back-to-back tonight against the Utah Jazz in Salt Lake City, and they promptly got thrashed via a final score of 110-80. Lauri Markkanen had arguably his worst game as a pro (Fred Hoiberg after the game noted Markkanan has been sick the last few games), every starter finished with a +/- rating of at most -8, and Robin Lopez led the Bulls in scoring with 15 points. The offense relied heavily on isolation play once again, the defensive effort was completely absent, and the Bulls just got physically dominated against a team that flat-out wanted to win more than they did.
