NEW YORK – On the same day that executive vice president of basketball operations Arturas Karnisovas put his faith in keeping this Bulls team together at the trade deadline, they didn’t just bite the hand that fed them, they chewed off a few digits.
Facing a Brooklyn team that was dismantled of star power the last 48 hours, all the underachieving Bulls did was get shot out of the gym from outside, losing 116-105.
To make matters worse, it came just hours after Karnisovas insisted that he felt the inconsistent three-point shooting wouldn’t be a major issue through the rest of the season.
