I could’ve given this fictional award to Cristiano Felicio who scored a team-high 17 points on 8-10 shooting. But something about a plus/minus of -23 just doesn’t quite sit right with me.
Noah Vonleh even earned consideration for player of the game just from this one play:
Antonio Blakeney was the other runner-up as he scored 16 points to go along with 4 rebounds and an assist. But ultimately, the Chicago Bulls’ best player tonight was Bobby Portis.
Portis’s efficient night a staple of his impressive season
Portis only played 25 minutes but he still managed to score 16 points on an efficient 6-11 shooting.
