Thanks to the Sixers’ loss to the Nuggets, the Bulls had a chance to move into third place in the Eastern Conference with a win over the lowly Kings on Monday to start a three-game West Coast road trip. Instead, the Bulls came out and played one of their worst halves of the season before coming back and making a game of it, only to fall short in a truly terrible 112-103 defeat.
The first half of this game was absolutely disgusting, with Zach LaVine playing some of his worst basketball of the season in his return to the lineup as he continues to deal with his knee problem.
