New lineup, same result, as Nuggets trump Bulls by playing the ‘Joker’

The Bulls played solid basketball in the first half on Saturday, but then “Joker” took over and behind Nikola Jokic the Nuggets never looked back.

DENVER – Torrey Craig keeps it real.

Yes, he can get down and dirty on the defensive end, and he’s a solid three-point shooter, but what the veteran forward has brought to this Bulls roster since signing last summer is some much-needed realness.

So while the Patrick Williams benching is being handled with kid gloves by many in and around the organization, Craig was very matter-of-fact about the entire ordeal before Saturday’s 123-101 loss to Denver.
