After a big win and a road trip, the Bulls, who were in some good shape, returned home and welcomed the Timberwolves.
In the Bulls, Dosem returned to the starting lineup, and the team had home advantage in this campaign, and head coach Donovan was also lined up to lead the team to defend the home field and win 2 consecutive games.
On the other hand, the Timberwolves, Beverley's fire line returned, trying to bring more help to Russell + Towns + Edwards, leading the Timberwolves to do a big job on the road and save face!
However, after four quarters of playing, with the excellent play of DeRozan + Javent Green, the Bulls, who played at home, overpowered the Timberwolves in the first half and occupied the initiative on the court.
Although after returning from the second half, Towns + Edwards + Beasley in the third quarter continued to play, leading the Timberwolves to play several waves of counter-attack, and once completed the score reversal.
But in the final final moment, DeRozan + Kobe White ushered in the outbreak, helping the Bulls establish a double-digit lead, while the Timberwolves could not catch up with the points and had to lose.
In the end, the Bulls also beat the Timberwolves 134-122 at home, winning two consecutive wins and giving the opponent Timberwolves a 2-game losing streak!
Playing at home in this game, the Bulls will continue the momentum of the previous game, playing a team performance of six people scoring in double figures and three people scoring 20+ to win a 12-point victory.
In the case of the main players such as Lavine + Dosem + Javent Green, continuing their stable performance, the two aces DeRozan + Vucevic, and the play of the demon Guard Kobe White, are particularly critical!
DeRozan lived up to the expectations of home fans in this game, starting 36 minutes, shooting a game-high 35 points on 14-of-22 shooting, plus an all-around performance of 6 rebounds, 6 assists and 1 steal, and there was no personal error.
Among them, his heroic performance of scoring 16 points in the last quarter not only became a difficult existence for the Timberwolves at one time, but also almost single-handedly led the team to take away the game!
More importantly, after cutting the luxurious 35+6+6 stats in this game, DeRozan also became the second player in Bulls history after Michael Jordan, scoring 35+ in four consecutive games, setting a great record!
In addition, as the starting center of the team, the play of Vucevic in this game also played a crucial role.
This campaign Vucevic is very efficient, shooting nearly 80% of the 14 shots in the whole game, not to mention, he has handed over 26 points + 8 rebounds + 7 assists of the outstanding performance, it can be said that in the alignment with Towns, it is not inferior at all!
Of course, the Bulls were able to beat the Timberwolves in this game, and the performance of the demon guard Kobe White on the bench was also indispensable.
Kobe Bryant White was in full swing, coming off the bench for 28 minutes, shooting 8 from 12 in the middle and six three-pointers, contributing 22 points, 6 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 steals.
And his key performance in the fourth quarter, three-pointers, 4 shots and 4 shots, not only provided the Bulls with powerful firepower, but also completely disrupted the Timberwolves' defensive deployment and plans, successfully affecting the trend of the game!
In contrast, on the other hand, on the Timberwolves side, although the team played a tenacious performance of 5 people scoring in double figures in this game, the team failed to withstand the pressure in the final quarter, and finally swallowed a 12-point defeat + 2 consecutive losses, which obviously needs to be examined.
For the Timberwolves, who have lost 2 consecutive games, despite the team's current record, they can still beat the Clippers and Lakers and rank seventh in the West.
But rationally speaking, considering the next not easy schedule, this young Timberwolves team will undoubtedly face no small challenge and test!
