Where does blame fall for Bulls' miserable defense in Minnesota? McGrawDHSports chicagobulls
A first-time-in-40-years performance is deserving of a second look, even if it was miserable to watch.
Anthony Edwards, who scored 37 points, also hit some tough shots. Then there was the time when he put a shoulder into Alex Caruso, sent him stumbling into the photographers' area, then finished a lay-in as no offensive foul was called. Another factor was this game was somewhat competitive. The Bulls trailed by 9 with nine minutes left, and by 13 with five minutes left. The benches weren't cleared until the last couple of minutes.
What the Bulls really need is the power forward to be a basket-protector, someone who can just stand in the lane and convince dribblers not to challenge him. Patrick Williams is not that guy right now. Maybe he can be someday, but he's not particularly aggressive on defense and doesn't have the experience to deal with challenging scenarios very well.
The Bulls also let the Timberwolves get in a rhythm thanks to poor transition defense early in the game. On Minnesota's second basket, the ball was poked away from Vucevic. With the T-wolves on the run, Caruso sprinted across the court to stop Russell from shooting an open 3, but he just tossed an easy pass to Reid, who buried an uncontested 3 while the four other Bulls stood in the lane and watched.
The Bulls led after the first quarter 34-32. That was actually their best quarter of defense. So in conclusion, it's complicated. Except when the Bulls tried to play zone in the third quarter. That went awful.
