The Bulls were already down Alex Caruso, Javonte Green, Coby White and Patrick Williams. Then came the news that DeMar DeRozan was in health and safety protocols and would miss Monday’s home game against Nikola Jokic and the Nuggets. Even Stacey King was out for this game.
That didn’t stop the Bulls from destroying the Nuggets in the second half after a sluggish first half, putting on a show in the process in a 109-97 victory. Sure, Denver is in the middle of a road trip and down a number of key players as well, but this is still a quality team when the MVP is playing.
