Veteran guard Patrick Beverley knows the play-in game in Toronto will come down to the players in the locker room.

There’s a simplicity in how Patrick Beverley is choosing to approach Wednesday’s do-or-die play-in game.

Sure, the Bulls guard was downplaying the magnitude of it, but he also understood the accountability piece of the outcome.

The coaching staff can put together the two great practice days leading up to the game in Toronto, head coach Billy Donovan can put together a top-notch game plan, and the front office could have added the perfect personnel for this time of the year, but at the end of the day it comes down to the players.
