The rookie said all the right things.
Matas Buzelis usually does.
“We’re one step at a time,” the Bulls forward insisted. “We’ve got OKC (Oklahoma City) next so that’s what we’re focused on. We were focused on Dallas before (Saturday’s) game. We’re not looking into the future. We’re in the moment.”
The right thing to say, but not entirely accurate.
The locker room knows exactly where they sit in the Eastern Conference standings as they approach Monday’s game against the Thunder and the final push of the eight games left on the schedule.
