On April 18, Beijing time, the Bulls played at home against the Hawks, and the Bulls successfully defeated the Hawks 131-116 at the end of the game. In this game, the Bulls established a big lead early, but the Hawks regained suspense under Murray's outburst, but unfortunately Trae Young's performance in this game was bad, and the Hawks' defense was terrible, on the other hand, the Bulls DeRozan and others had a good performance, and White exploded in the game to score 42 points, in this case, the Bulls successfully advanced to the next play-off, and according to the current news, Butler's injury is not light, and such a thing undoubtedly increases the Bulls' chances of entering the playoffs.
The Hawks lost this game is quite helpless, after all, they once saw the opportunity to reverse, but Trae Young became a drag in this game, Trae Young played a very bad performance in the first quarter of the game, Trae Young got 1 point, 2 assists and 5 turnovers in the first quarter of the game, Trae Young got 1 point, 2 assists and 5 turnovers in the first quarter of the game, it can be said that Trae Young was blown up at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends on the court, so the Bulls were able to directly pull away the score, and then Murray finally helped the Hawks to chase the score, and when Trae Young returned to the court, the Bulls successfully stabilized the situation, although Trae Young found some offensive state after that, but Trae Young's poor defense still hurt the team, Snyder's refusal to abandon Trae Young made the Hawks very passive, and in the end, the Hawks lost the game.
At the end of the game, Trae Young got 22 points, 2 rebounds, 10 assists, 6 turnovers in 4 of 12, and the plus/minus value of -27 is the lowest value of the team, in fact, there are a lot of rumors about Trae Young this season, among which the Lakers are undoubtedly interested in Trae Young, but the current Trae Young defects are really too obvious, and Trae Young has no previous offensive efficiency, so when Trae Young has a bad offense, Trae Young is a complete side effect for the team, so seeing Trae Young playing so badly, the Lakers really can't repeat the mistakes of the past, after all, the Lakers changed back to Wei Shao and the team suffered a huge blow, Wei Shao's incompatibility with the Lakers made the Lakers play quite badly in the season, and in the end, the Lakers also parted ways with Wei Shao, so the Lakers should really learn a long lesson, and they can't pursue Trae Young in order to form a Big Three lineup.
And Murray's performance this season is good, when Trae Young is injured, it is also Murray who leads the Hawks to win some games, especially in this game, if Trae Young does not play enough time, then Murray really has a chance to lead the Hawks to win the game, so Murray is still quite important to the Hawks, if the Hawks want to continue to impact the playoffs in the next season, then Murray should stay, after all, compared to Trae Young, Murray is a good player both offensively and defensively, so the importance of Murray is self-evident。 Although the Bulls were happy to win the game, there is now a piece of news that really hit the Bulls.
According to Woj, Caruso suffered a severe sprain in his right foot. Caruso fell to the ground in pain after being stepped on by teammate Zhuang Shen in today's game, and went to the locker room to check on him before returning to the game, but eventually withdrew. Woj said Caruso's status is undecided in the playoff match against the Heat for the No. 8 seed in the play-off match (Saturday, April 20 at 7:30 a.m.). Although Caruso has limited help to the Bulls on the offensive end, Caruso's defensive ability is placed here, and it can be said that the reason why the Bulls have the current results Caruso is indispensable, so seeing Caruso suffer an injury is a big blow to the Bulls, and Zhuang Shen is really a bitter Bull, after all, Caruso is really innocent when he suffers such an injury.
