If you tuned into the last play of the game on Thursday, what you saw was typical. Talented Bulls, lost on the strong side.
Forcing exactly what Tom Thibodeau wants out of your very best scorers:
Thibodeau has to be in the lede, has to, his instructions defined the interactions. Chicago hurried back from double-digits to earn a chance to turn John Deacon on at the buzzer, but not before dribbling into the spots Thibs likes the most.
Billy Donovan coaches these Bulls, and Billy’s GM strapped the Chicago rotation full of leaders, guys to make the extra dish or pop out to the bubble when it’s time to reverse the action. Talkers, from Vucevic to DeRozan to Caruso to Lonzo, leaders to pass the ball but not the buck.
