It was another loss that was a blowout, on this west coast trip, in 2019, and in Denver...all trends for the Chicago Bulls. The Nuggets were able to pull away in the second half to a 40-point margin at one point, eventually finishing the game the victor with a 135-105 score.
Chicago had few, if any, bright spots. Zach LaVine , Kris Dunn , and fellow starter Bobby Portis combined to go 11 of 26 from the field. But at least Lauri Markkanen stood out well. He scored a game high 27 points on 10 of 18 shooting from the field including 5 three-pointers along with 10 rebounds.
