It looks like Cameron Payne finally has made it. No, not because he tied a career high Friday with 17 points and a team high six assists in the Bulls 118-105 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks. Not because of the way he got the Bulls off to their best start in weeks with his scoring and playmaking, shooting threes, look away passes, penetrating drives for scores.
It was more so the double technical foul at the close of the first half with Brandon Jennings, the Bulls and Bucks tied at 61 in a frenzied first half. It seems Jennings had been taunting and challenging Payne, and Payne was right back in his face.
