We have already heard Chicago Bulls Sniper Zach Lavine telling folks we have to learn how to win. After a disappointing "L" to a struggling Houston Rockets Teams tonight the Bulls just have to get back to the basics and maybe winning will come.After a solid first half that saw the "West Side Story Report" leading at intermission 56-54 the Bulls forgot really quick how they got to that point an started to play like the Rockets. The only problem is the Bulls are not made for "Iso" this and "Iso" that and fell into the trap as the Rockets made them pay.
Clutch City's reigning NBA M.V.P. James Harden started cooking in the 3rd as that 56-54 deficit turned into a Rockets 75-63 lead after three with Harden netting most of his game-high 25 points in the 3rd as the Bulls never recovered. Chicago stayed within striking distance but it was the little things that cost them on this night from careless turnovers to no movement on offense resorting back to how Houston is made for and that is "Iso" ball.
Lavine led the Bulls with 21 points as Chicago's 2018 #1 draft pick Wendell Carter Jr. goes double-double again with 14 points and thirteen boards. The Bulls shot an amazing 60% plus in the 1st half and fell to just under 40% for the game with poor shooting in the 2nd half.
Rockets rim protector Clint Capela (12 pts 12 rebs) got it going in the 2nd half as the Rocket play makers caught him with a few opportunities to play Nerf Rim with some lob dunks in the 2nd half. Carmelo Anthony who dropped 28 points in "Flatbush" Brooklyn N.Y. last night on the Nets added 17 points and grabbed seven boards as he is starting to look like the "Bully of World's Most Famous" from his Knicks Days.
Rockets move to 3-5 while the Bulls fall to 2-8 and just think 72 more of these to go and Chicago just has to be thinking of game #11 up next not that 82-game trek...
