CHICAGO – Aaron Gordon pulled up near the elbow and buried the mid-range look.
It was the type of play that should’ve forced the Bulls to take the ball out of the basket, work the ball up the court and face a set defense — the kind that could potentially impede an opponent.
But with 3:42 left in the first half of Friday night’s second preseason game, the Nuggets meandered back up the court. Gordon, Jamal Murray, DeAndre Jordan and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope were all behind their respective men. Michael Porter Jr., backpedaling up the court, was not.
