The Chicago Bulls (26-27) would have had a hard enough time beating the Golden State Warriors (44-8) on Wednesday night even with Dwyane Wade (illness) and Jimmy Butler (heel) in the starting lineup.
Without them, they didn't stand a chance.
Matched up against a Warriors team that was determined to get back in the win column following an overtime loss to the Sacramento Kings, the Bulls were bested by the defending Western Conference champs 123-92 at Oracle Arena.
Speaking of making amends for Saturday's loss to the Kings, Kevin Durant looked far more aggressive after he fell flat to the tune of 10 points on 2-of-10 shooting versus Sacramento.
