the Chicago Bulls’ The disappointing season ended on Friday night.
Chicago fell on Miami Heat102-91, in the final game in the Eastern Conference as the two teams battled for last place.
The Bulls led by one point in the fourth quarter before the Heat edged them out 35-23 in the final 12 minutes to steal the game.
“Everyone was playing with their hearts out. It was a low-scoring, high-defense game, and everyone was just trying to put the ball in the hoop,” he said. Zack Lavigne He said. “It hurts. You’re trying to scratch and win the game. We haven’t made enough plays. This stings.”
For LaVine, who single-handedly led the Bulls over Toronto on Wednesday with 39 points, he was unable to replicate that performance on Friday, scoring just 15 points on 6-of-21 shooting from the field.
“I just flipped. Nothing went our way,” she said. DeMar DeRozan He said. “Just trying to emotionally understand how much we put in the second half of the season just to give ourselves a chance. Dropping the ball like that sucks. That person is going to sting for a few days.”
DeRozan led the Bulls with 26 points and nine assists on 9-of-19 shooting and hit 8-of-9 free throws.
As DeRozan puts it, this loss may be ‘paining for a few days’ but what might rankle more is the question of whether this will be the last game DeRozan and LaVine will play as Bulls teammates.
