  • Found Ju. Holiday for corner triple (1Q)

Good start, getting teammates in correct spots; attack mode: looking to make plays off penetration; hands team — 2 steals, active in lanes, ball found K. Dunn; 9 pts, scored or assisted on 1st 15 Bulls points 

  • Fouled D. Booker and drive +1

Very good, aggressive effort - CHI lost + Dunn made mistakes late but encouraging game to build upon from a developmental perspective. Can he continue strong, two-way play at the point of attack?
