With a chance to get back to .500, and the schedule back on their side, the Bulls laid an egg in Sunday’s 126-103 loss to the Nuggets.
With the Nuggets stretching their lead into the 20s early in the fourth quarter, Jokić only logged 10 second half minutes and finished with 14 assists, four short of his single-game career high of 18. But he no doubt could have hit that number if required.When humming, Denver's offense is a flurry of screens, cuts and ball-pinging sequences. In other words, Billy Donovan's dream. In this one, Jokić's 14 assists led the way to 33 dimes as a team.
And, for good measure, Denver also shot 24-for-30 in the restricted area and scored 58 points in the paint in addition to their devastating jump-shooting.The Bulls' offense was plenty disjoined too, racking up 24 assists against 19 turnovers and shooting 6-for-22 from 3-point range. Six of those turnovers came in a particularly sloppy first quarter that spring-boarded the Nuggets' attack.It would be difficult to single out one individual for such a deflated, team-wide performance.
Ultimately, it was a rout that felt more indicative of the team's broader construction than any one player's performance. Or, at least, a glaring lack of urgency despite the Bulls being the team attempting to claw back to .500 and with the schedule advantage.One notable rotational takeaway was Green logging just three minutes pre-garbage time, while Jones saw the lion's share of the backup power forward minutes.
