We’ll start at the end, a last-second tip-in by Paul Millsap allowed his Nuggets to steal a 108-107 win at the United Center.
This was a pretty rough loss to take, the Bulls played actually kinda well and had late leads in regulation as well as overtime. Sure, they somewhat choked them, but: they earned their way out in front in the first place, damnit!
It was genuinely intriguing heading into this game how the team would look after the shellacking they took at the hands of the Warriors. If they were flat again, you could continue the rumblings about Hoiberg’s job.
