The Bulls let a 22-point lead in regulation evaporate as the Thunder escaped with a 127-125 overtime win over Chicago. Zach LaVine led Chicago with 35 points but the team continued their struggles with turnovers, committing 24.
Sometimes a basketball result needs an explanation, about strategy, about tactics, about crucial decisions.
Not this one. Not the Bulls' 127-125 overtime loss Friday to the Oklahoma City Thunder.
"We straight up folded," spat Zach LaVine with more disdain than description. "It's not a lot to really talk about."
Zach did talk some more, if not much and much less than he ever has after a Bulls game. Coach Billy Donovan talked and so did Lauri Markkanen. There wasn't really much to say about what had to be one of the most painful and dispiriting losses for the Bulls not only this season but perhaps in several seasons. Which is saying a lot.
