The Bulls opened their preseason against the Pelicans at the United Center on Tuesday night. After falling behind by 19 points in the first half, the Bulls made several pushes in the second half and even took a four-point lead in the fourth quarter after an emphatic Dalen Terry steal and dunk. However, they couldn’t hold the lead and suffered a 129-125 loss in an expectedly sloppy game that featured a ton of turnovers and fouls.
Terry was one of the bright spots for the Bulls, bringing immediate energy to the floor in the third quarter. In his 18 minutes of action, he had 11 points on 5-of-7 shooting to go along with seven boards, two assists and two steals.
