Zach LaVine?s 50-Bomb Cannot Save Bulls as Cade Cunningham and Jalen Duren Catch Fire at Home

Tonight?s Pistons vs. the Chicago Bulls took NBA fans down memory lane for a moment. Back in April 2021, Zach Lavine registered a career-high score tally of 50 points. That time, it was against the Atlanta Hawks. What followed was a loss to the opponent, as Trae Young covered up the lead set up by Lavine.

Two years later, the story repeats itself. The only difference is that this time, Cade Cunningham and Jaylen Duren covered up the lead. With the last marginal win, the Bulls are back to their poor defense and offense on the hardwood. Along with that, there might be injury updates this week, with the star player suffering from a stiff back.?

Zach Lavine: Another Loss Post 50-Point Score

Little Caesars Arena saw a faceoff between the Detroit Pistons and the Chicago Bulls. What?s important is that with this loss, the Bulls put an end to their 15-game winning streak. Not losing to the Pistons since 2019 and then trailing behind even after scoring a career-high. Well, the team was struggling with the half-court offense, and it was visible.

Although the Bulls scored a lot with turnovers or offensive rebounds, the first half was a disaster. With just 16 assists in total, the offensive slog continued. Not only that, the team even lacked defense, allowing 58 points in the paint.

By the end of the fourth quarter, it was obvious that, with such erratic coordination between the offense and defense, they couldn?t let the Bulls win against the brilliant play of J. Duren tonight. With guard Coby White and forward Patrick Williams not registering any points, the franchise seemed in a haphazard state.

Zach Lavine and Co.: A Depressing Team?

“The Ringer” published an article on how the Chicago Bulls have caught themselves up in a rut and it directly points toward tonight’s play. Although the franchise registered a marginal win against the Raptors in the season opener, it was evident the team was not going to hold it together any longer.

With Lavine concerned about a stiff back and his name making it to the injury speculation report, this season doesn’t seem to be a good omen for the players. With everyone vouching for a win after DeRozan got traded, chances seem low with such a faulty offense.
