As a result, they are now 15-15. after that, The Three Joneseswho led the way with 15 points and six rebounds, gave a loan team as a whole for coming together to win, per NBA.com’s Sam Smith.
“We’ve got a bunch of guys making sacrifices, doing whatever they can to help us add to the win,” Jones said. “It took the whole team tonight. Some of the guys we rely on the most didn’t have a great shooting night, and it took the whole team to come out. This group has an incredible spirit in the locker room right now. Obviously, we’ve battled adversity at times of the year and seen the ups and downs, so we know what we need to do as a group to fight every night.”

The Bulls don’t have the luxury of relying on one player
Given the Bulls’ current roster, they don’t have that singular star that can be trusted to rise to the occasion. This is something that Nikola Vucevicwho scored seven points, clearly admitted.
“We said that we don’t really have that big star that we can always rely on,” said Vucevic. “We’ve got to do it as a group, and every night it’s going to be different guys. There wasn’t one particular guy who played really great tonight, but we all did a little bit and we all had parts of different moments and stuck with it, and sometimes it’s going to be like that. If you do it as a team, you can find a way. Different moments in the game got a big part and guys stepped up.”
Vucevic is not the least bit shy dealing with Chicago’s immediate concerns.
