Tre Jones doesn’t have “closer” officially in his job title yet, but he’s fast-tracking in that direction.
He continued to make a case for himself late in Friday’s come-back win over Philadelphia, entering the game with 3:14 left until the final horn and the Bulls down a point.
All Jones did was score on a reverse layup, grab an offensive rebound off a Coby White step-back jumper, and then score a layup on that same possession that he helped keep alive. When the dust cleared on his free throw with 17.2 seconds left, Jones scored five points, been in the perfect spot to make plays, and helped deliver the seven-point win.
