The New Orleans Pelicans 2-game road winning streak was snapped Saturday in Chicago as the Bulls were relentless on the glass all night to earn the 107-99 victory. Chicago finished with a 63-42 rebounding advantage, largely thanks to a 21-6 superiority on the offensive glass. The Bulls previous game-high for OREB on the season was 19.
Alvin Gentry noted the rebounding disparity in his comments following the game.
“I think it’s pretty obvious that the rebounding was the difference in the game.”
Chicago has the worst eFG% in the league, but giving them 17 more shot attempts is a recipe for defeat every time.
