Following their massive win over the Utah Jazz on Monday night, the Chicago Bulls headed into their game against the Phoenix Suns on Wednesday, looking to keep up the momentum they built. With Bradley Beal making his debut for Phoenix, however, it wasn’t going to be an easy challenge.
Chicago left it all out on the court. After going down by as many as 18 points in the first quarter, they battled back throughout the rest of the game, nearly stealing a win. A clutch DeMar DeRozan bucket tied the game with 16 seconds left to send it to overtime, but they weren’t able to seal the deal, losing by a score of 115-116.
That said, it was still an honorable showing for the Bulls. Let’s take a look at the three best statistical performers from the contest.
