The Chicago Bulls needed to lose on both Saturday night and on Monday night in order to pass the Brooklyn Nets for the seventh-best lottery odds in the NBA.
After getting blown out on Saturday night, the Bulls were taken out in a closer affair in Brooklyn on Monday by a score of 114-105.
While the Bulls needed to lose these two games for the sake of their lottery odds, it was clear that the newly signed Sean Kilpatrick has been eager to prove his worth in the NBA. In eight games for the Bulls, Kilpatrick is now averaging 15 points per game.
