Nikola Vucevic shot 12-of-19 from the field and 3-of-3 from the foul line in Sunday’s 120-119 overtime loss to the Knicks, amassing 29 points, 11 rebounds, three assists, and two 3-pointers in 42 minutes.
Despite having nothing to play for, the Bulls played their usual rotation on Sunday, with all five starters playing at least 38 minutes. Vucevic logged 42 and finished with his second straight double-double. He’s scored at least 26 points in three straight games, building solid offensive momentum heading into Chicago’s Play-In tournament matchup with Atlanta. Javonte Green, who has filled in admirably for Ayo Dosunmu, contributed 11 points, eight rebounds, one assist, two steals, and one 3-pointer in 38 minutes.
