The Bulls sure could have used another blowout to rest the starters as they completed the 2nd game of their 3 games in 3 nights. It looked like it was going to be one as they lead by as many as 24 in the first half. Towards the end of the 2nd quarter though, they missed 9 straight and let Minnesota back into the game. The Wolves were hot from 3, but fortunately so were the Bulls as they went 55% for the night. Korver and Rose seemed to sink one whenever the Wolves got within 4. Bulls pulled away at the end opf the 4th as they usually do.
The poor defense, particularly at the 3-point line made the Wolves look like a playoff team. It also seemed like the Bulls let back a little after their 20-point lead. As always, I'm more comfortable with the Bulls being down 20 at the half than up 20.
The Wizards are next for the final game of their 3-game stretch. Washington won last night... their first of the season, so they're entering the game on an up note, while the Bulls may be fatigued after playing 2 in a row, including a tough one against Minnesota. Even though the Wizards are a weak team, this factor could make it interesting.
