There was a moment in the middle of the second quarter. Mike Breen and Clyde Frazier were discussing something innocuous. It was such a normal conversation, Clyde wasn’t even rhyming. Suddenly it was interrupted by RJ Barrett slicing through the lane, blowing past Nikola Vucevic to knife at the basket, rise, and throw down a one-handed silencing hammer. Suddenly Breen’s voice raised a fever pitch. Clyde delivered a “slicing and dicing.” Barrett floated to the floor and gave the surrounding Bulls players a death stare. For fans thirsty for something positive. Anything with a measure of grace, Barrett delivered.
