Bulls survive crunch time, beat Minnesota in 2OT behind DeRozan's 49 points. McGrawDHSports chicagobulls
That's not some sort of snowmobile race, but the number of points allowed when the Bulls played at Minnesota on Dec. 18. The result prompted a spirited team meeting that seemed to set the Bulls in the right direction. They went 15-9 over the following six weeks before stumbling into the all-star break on a six-game losing streak.
Minnesota had the final possession in a tie game twice. In regulation, Kyle Anderson, working against Zach LaVine, lost the ball and was called for double-dribble. At the end of the first overtime, Jaden McDaniels missed a 3-pointer over Nikola Vucevic."You try," coach Billy Donovan said."We had a foul to give , so we could be really aggressive and weren't worried about fouling.
"The only guy I'm concerned about right now is Alex ," Donovan said."Coming off that illness, I've got to believe he was exhausted. I checked with him a couple times late in the game into overtime and he said he was OK. My thing is eat well, rest and do everything you can to get yourself physically ready to play."
"Play hard, man. Leave it all out there," LaVine said."I think that's what we did. We made mistakes, we might have fouled or overplayed, but we were doing everything aggressive with the right mindset. We were trying to help each other and get a win." When Edwards climbed to his feet and was helped into the locker room, he didn't put any weight on his injured leg. He later appeared on the end of the bench in a walking boot.
