I apologize for the lack of game recaps. I had myself a pretty busy weekend with halloween and work, but we are back and back with another win.
The Chicago Bulls handled business on the second night in a back-to-back with a win. The Bulls beat the Charlotte Hornets 106-88 to advance their record to 5-4.
The stars of tonight's game are pretty unexpected. Patrick Williams and the bench mob led the way all night. This allowed Zach Lavine, DeMar DeRozan and Nikola Vucevic to not have to do as much.
This has been two nights in a row of seeing Williams look really good but tonight he looked super confident. Williams shot 7-9 with 16 points and 5 rebounds. All night he did not look awkward at all out there. He looked strong, was not afraid to shoot and not afraid to drive to the rim. It is exactly what we need out of him going forward and we all just want to keep seeing him progress forward.
The bench mob absolutely showed up as always. Andre Drummond is still out with injury so we are lacking size, but that never showed tonight.
Javonte Green is truly a stud. Last year he started to take the mantle as one of my favorite Bulls players but he might actually be running away with it. He just brings so much energy and is not afraid to sacrifice everything for the big play. It is so much fun to watch.
Green led the scoring tonight with 17 points with 8 rebounds. He shot 100% from the field, insane. Green being the leading scorer is pretty insane to think about, but if that's how this team wants to role, let it role.
Goran Dragic also just continues to do his thing. He is cementing himself as one of the sneakiest signings in the league early in the season. Dragic had 16 points while knocking down a couple of threes. He has done exactly what we have wanted to see out of him and he just needs to keep it going.
This was one of those games that felt so good to watch because you could take your eyes off the TV for two minutes and every time you looked back, they were just flying up the floor crashing the basket. It was awesome.
We are back on national TV on Friday where we square off with the Celtics. With the win over Charlotte, we move back to over .500 at 5-4. The Bulls will look to make it three wins in a row in Boston.
