Closing time? Bulls coach Billy Donovan going with old man strength

Call it the “vet lineup’’ or simply the closers, but what has become evident is don’t discount old man strength.

Bulls coach Billy Donovan hasn’t.

While rotations and lineup combinations will remain fluid as Donovan searches for the best mixes, he seems to have settled on a group he likes to finish close games with. At least for now.

Yes, second-year guard Coby White has been a part of that unit, but there’s also Garrett Temple, 34, Thaddeus Young 32, and 27-year-old Otto Porter Jr. Throw in Zach LaVine, and it’s obvious the trust Donovan has in his vets.
