Going into the game, Chicago had three lonesome wins, their last of which, came against the Hornets about a month ago. This game, unfortunately, would not hold a different result.
The game started out promising, but at the end of the first quarter, the Bulls went on a run to end the period with a 31-25 lead, setting the tone for the rest of the game.
Of the leading performances tonight, Dwight Howard’s stat line certainly stands out. He recorded 25 points, 20 rebounds, and six blocks, and was a defensive force. Other notable stat lines include Treveon Graham 12 points, Nicolas Batum’s 10 assists, Marvin Williams' 17 points, and Kemba Walker’s 20 points and five assists.
