Every team will give up a half time lead the NBA has talent hard to go 48 with a foot on the throat.

Caruso and Demar saved us in the 4th. Caruso made CLUTCH defense and Demar was amazing down the stretch and made clutch free throws.

But man we have to stop with these lapses. It happened against the Hornets, it happened here against the Knicks. We were up 18 and up 21 in these games and nearly blew them both.I understand teams go on runs but those runs shouldnt have happened like that.

I know its a win, but we need to figure that part out.

Pretty wild how talentless that Knicks team is and how well Thibs has them play. They may be bottom 5 in the league in talent on paper.

That Knicks team is not fun to play. They were down a couple players too. Wouldn’t expect less from a Thibs led team. I do wonder what they’re doing long term though - they don’t have any legit all-star players outside of Randle, and even he is sus

this was a really fun game. love watching these teams play each other. our 'big 3' is reakky rounding into form...the role players did basically nothing, lonzo had an off night, but i think one can start to expect lavine, derozan, vucevic to carry this team to a lot of wins in lieu of poor performances.

i wish there was a better alternative to green and jones tho...maybe this guy lauri markkanen? seems like a pretty good fit

This team is fun to watch, even blowing a 21 point lead wasn't awful, this time. Demarvelous might be my favorite player on the squad, I could watch his footwork all night!

The way the Bulls kept feeding lonzo when he was open is the underrated storyline…the team kept showing confidence in him even when not shooting well will pay off in a playoff game this year

Some teams really really regretting not getting Derozan.

The Lakers really messed up. He’d of brought so much more to their team than Westbrook. While Russell is the bigger name, Derozan is the smarter, calmer vet. They’d of been winning with him and AD while Lebron was out

Thank you DeMar! I have more faith in him than anyone else on this team when the game is that close down the stretch like that.

Ultimately, talent wins. Good game. Heart attack inducing. Team with three players that drop 30 and 20s won.

Tough one for Lonzo but had some impact on defense. Caruso is very interesting as it almost seem like he erases every mistake he make.

Demar has such a calming effect on this team Just seems like everyone is flustered but him.

That was too close for my liking, given how dominant they were in the first half. The Bulls have to find a way to get hype at halftime, and play like they’re coming from behind, even if they’re not.

Glad Vuc has strung together some solid games though….this is the Vuc we need to keep us at the top of the second tier of the eastern teams.

Teams
Knicks - This is the freaking super bowl! Let's run several players near 40 minutes.
Bulls - Yeah, let's treat this the same way we treated our first preseason game

Results - Bulls win

Fans
Bulls are good, but do they have another gear?

Have to win through the lapses and they did. Ever team has them. NBA is tough. Composure when the heat is on is key.

This was a entertaining game besides almost having a stroke.
