The Bulls fumbling away the Celtics game on Saturday was especially painful given the schedule this week, and sure enough, Monday’s MLK Day matinee in Memphis against an awesome Grizzlies team wasn’t pretty. The Bulls stayed in the game early because the Grizzlies were just as bad as they were, but once the hosts started to get things going, the visitors had no chance in a 119-106 loss as they continue to struggle with so many key guys out.
The first quarter was truly heinous basketball, with both teams throwing up a lot of bricks and throwing the ball all over the place.
