Wendell Carter Jr. lead the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday night with 22 points and looked pretty stellar despite the teams 124-112 loss to the Trail Blazers in Portland. Scoring almost half of the teams 56 points in the paint.
The rookie had 14 of his 22 points in the second half on a very solid 7-of-9 from the field in just 28 minutes. Seven points split between the third and fourth quarter, you wonder why the Bulls didn’t go to him more in the first half and even despite being down only five at the half if they would’ve went to him more they could’ve had even smaller of a halftime deficit or even had the lead.
