Jimmy Butler and Dwyane Wade are going to take the Bulls as far as they can go this season, which was once again on display in Friday’s 128-121 overtime victory over the Phoenix Suns.
Butler had two clutch jump shots down the stretch in regulation, and then it was Wade with 10 points in overtime, Wade and Butler combining for 17 of the franchise equaling high 20 points in the overtime period.
“That’s what great players do,” said Bulls coach Fred Hoiberg. “They step up when you need them the most. Jimmy obviously had a tough night shooting the ball through the first three quarters.
