Blake Hamilton struggled from the floor, shooting only 3 of 18, but was able to make his free throws and manage 14 points and eight rebounds for Buffalo, but the Bulls weren’t able to cover, as the Nevada Wolf Pack pulled away late to win, 67-62 in the Great Alaska Shootout. The Bulls move to 3-2 early on this season, while Nevada moves to 5-1 with the victory.
Nick Perkins also struggled, as he only hit 4 of 15 shots for nine points and nine rebounds on the night. Willie Conner was able to add 12 points, and Ikenna Smart with 10 more for the Bulls effort, but were unable to pull out the victory.
