Now don’t I look silly after predicting this stretch of Bulls games while undermanned would be ‘grotesque’! All they had to do was have a record-breaking shooting night to get a quality and entertaining victory.
The starting backcourt led it, with Zach LaVine’s leap this year continuing right out the gate in this game. It was far more surprising to see Coby White supplement the offense to this degree. White has had a miserable season as the Bulls starting point guard, and was seemingly regressing by the game with a (hopefully) rock-bottom performance against the Wizards where he was outplayed by Raul Neto.
