Billy Donovan's closing lineup of choice successfully deployed against Knicks

Billy Donovan deployed a rare four-guard lineup to seal the win against the Knicks on Halloween Night. In the closing minutes of the Bulls' 135-125 victory, the lineup on the court was Josh Giddey, Tre Jones, Ayo Dosunmu, Kevin Huerter, and Nikola Vucevic. It may only have been used sparingly in this game, but it's clearly something that Donovan favors and could use again.

Four guards offers unique advantages for the Bulls

This lineup was clearly the best option for the late-game free-throw battle with the Knicks, but it has other uses, too. All five players in the lineup are deadly shooters, giving any ball handler plenty of spacing.
