The Bulls got Otto Porter Jr. back against the Mavericks on Monday night for his first action since Nov. 6, but the absence of Zach LaVine seemed like it was going to doom the home team early on. Instead, Porter helped spark the Bulls to a 109-107 win with 18 points on 7-of-11 shooting in only 17 minutes off the bench, giving them just their second win this season against teams over .500.
Of course, the game couldn’t end without its share of stupid shenanigans, as the Bulls nearly blew an eight-point lead in the final 23 seconds of the game.
