“We trapped him. We threw a box-and-one at him. We tried to faceguard him,” Donovan said. “To his credit, he had a great night. He shot over us a lot of times. He really, really, really got it going.”The Bulls were out of sync on defense from the opening tip — and it showed beyond the stat lines. The defensive leniency wasn’t just a byproduct of less experienced players such as Dosunmu. The defense failed to rotate effectively against size mismatches, allowing Suns center Deandre Ayton to add 30 points to Booker’s performance.Bulls guard Zach LaVine shoots over Suns forward Mikal Bridges during the first half on Nov. 30, 2022.
