The happiness Chicago Bulls fans felt from Zach LaVine’s late-game heroics against the Charlotte Hornets couldn’t last forever. The Bulls got a reality check tonight.
Damian Lillard and Co. came into the United Center in desperate need of a victory. They’ve been one of the biggest disappointments in the NBA so far this season. But the Bulls were hoping they could use their gutsy win over Charlotte as a turning point for their season. The Blazers got their wish; the Bulls didn’t.
Chicago actually came out of the gates looking alright.
