After Washington Capitals forward Tom Wilson received only a $5,000 fine and no suspension for punching Rangers forward Pavel Buchnevich in the back of the head and injuring Rangers forward Artemi Panarin during Monday s game, the Rangers released the following statement:
• Here’s what I wrote in last night’s pre-game post: “I’m not feeling great about the Bulls chances to grab a W, but I’ll be semi-happy if they can give a similarly scrappy and focused performance (they won both the turnover and the personal fouls battle on Wednesday night).” Hi. It me. Semi-happy. Two days after playing the West’s second-best team, the Bulls kept things within striking distance against the owners of the best record in the NBA. The Utah Jazz crushed Chicago by 25 points the first time they met, but this time around the Bulls were within three points with 26.7 seconds to go. They won the turnover battle 11-7, and they outscored Utah an impressive 68-40 in the paint. It was another physical and clean game, which is exactly what the Bulls were looking for when they made their trade deadline moves. Sure, it may have still resulted in a loss, but let’s remember only 11 teams have beaten the Jazz all season.
