Jimmy Butler knocked the Chicago Bulls out last season in the play-in game in Miami. But his status is unknown because of a right knee injury that could give the Bulls a big advantage Friday.
Bulls guard Coby White, left, and coach Billy Donovan high-five late in the second half of an NBA Play-In Tournament game against the Hawks on April 17, 2024, at the United Center. Things seemed to be setting up quite nicely for the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday night in their return to the play-ins.
“I remember that plane ride back home vividly,” DeMar DeRozan said. “Everybody was just frustrated. That finish sucked. For me that was the one thing on my mind once I realized we were going back to Miami. Not to have that same feeling .”Nikola Vučević, who scored 24 points with 12 rebounds Wednesday, recalled the Bulls “felt like we played a pretty good game for 46 or so minutes.” Unfortunately the game was 48 minutes.
“He’s one of the great competitors of this league,” Caruso said. “He turns this time of year into his time. If he can’t go that would be a significant loss because he’s kind of the head of the snake, the heartbeat for them. “We just told Coby and Ayo to be aggressive whenever he was out there, try to attack him in as much stuff as possible and create offense for us,” DeRozan said. “And it worked out for us.”
The beginning of the end came late in the third, when White went into hyperdrive. A driving, spinning layup started it off, then White stole a pass, grabbed an offensive rebound on the other end and fed Javonte Green for a thunderous slam, followed by another driving layup.
