There were questions about how the offensive hierarchy would go in crunch time for this team once Lauri Markkanen returned to the court. For tonight at leas,t the answer seems to be Markkanen himself, and and he delivered against the Oklahoma City Thunder. He had a clutch assist and the game wining basket in the final seconds as Chicago got their 1st win in the Jim Boylen era.
Things began to pick up in the 4th with around 9 minutes left. The Bulls quickly scored 6 points in a row thanks to buckets from Markkanen along with dunks from Shaq Harrison and LaVine.
