Kings coach Mike Brown challenged the second foul call with 12.5 seconds left, but DeRozan said-and replays indicated-that Barnes brushed DeRozan’s elbow. Both victimized Harrison Barnes, who actually drew a flagrant on the first for not giving DeRozan landing space on his jumper. “We did a good job at times attacking the closeouts.”ĭeRozan, who posted his 18th 30-point game with 33 points, produced two four-point plays in the final 3 minutes, 50 seconds. “The way they play defense, they came in and provided help at the rim and we sprayed it out,” Donovan said. They sank 16 for 38.1 percent despite Nikola Vucevic missing all seven attempts. The Bulls tied their season-high with 42 3-point attempts. Hit the middle and try to get a 3 or a layup instead of holding it and trying to figure out what’s going on.”Ĥ. They went to that zone and it slowed our offense down,” LaVine said. The Kings utilized a zone defense for much of the third to stymie the Bulls. Making the third quarter even more painful was the fact the Bulls lost almost all of that 16-point, second-quarter lead before halftime but rallied with a strong close to the first half to lead 58-48. “The start of the third quarter gave them a lot of momentum.” “That’s the disappointing part to me of the game,” Donovan said. At one point, the Bulls missed 13 straight 3-pointers.
Particularly initially out of halftime, the Bulls’ had poor shot selection. But the Bulls lost the game in the third quarter, getting outscored 37-22. Fox’s shot produced the heartbreak and the highlight.
