Chicago in the same situation after the loss to the Nets
on friday, Chicago Bulls was defeated against the Brooklyn Nets 112-109. As a result, they have a record of 19-22, and history repeats itself.
In other words, Taurus they have practically an accurate record at this point during the season for the third time in four years, per NBA.com’s Sam Smith. This reality was then recognized by Nikola Vucevic, connecting it to the problem of injuries.
We had a lot of injuries, it’s hard to judge,” said Vucevic. “I guess we’re kind of the same where we’ve been for the last four years, kind of the same situation. We had a few injuries, some games we didn’t play well…”
The Bulls rallied from a 20-point deficit to make it 100-98 with less than four minutes left.
“Proud of the boys for continuing to play and fighting until the end,” Vucevic said. With 5.4 seconds left in the game, the Bulls trailed 110-109. Tre Jones inbounded the ball and Drake Powell deflected it, resulting in a foul on Noah Clowney.
In the end, Clowney made both free throws, leaving Vucevic to make a desperation half-court shot, but to no avail.
The Bulls return to Chicago on Sunday for a rubber match against the Nets. At the beginning of the year Taurus surprised most with a 6-1 start. However, injuries, losing streaks and inconsistency have brought them back to what they were used to.
Vucevic (35) played in 40 games this year. He is averaging 17.0 points and 9.1 rebounds per game.
