Joel Lorenzi: Bulls get their first win since Jan. 31, 120-97, over Milwaukee. Had a 27-0 run. Lot of Leonard Miller who was a +38 (!!!). Lot of Collin Sexton, who had 22 on 9/14 shooting (which apparently meant less Rob Dillingham). Bulls break 11-game skid.
Blake Murphy: Josh Giddey, Tre Jones, and Jalen Smith are available for Bulls. A few minutes restrictions on Bulls side but Unseld not providing specifics. Jonathan Mogbo back from 905
Following the recent trades, how do you see your role shifting toward leadership alongside players like Josh Giddey? Matas Buzelis: I talked to Billy about it, how I need to be more vocal as a player and I need to speak to guys. You know, guys don't know sets, guys don't know the defense and I have to be more vocal every time I step on the court to try to help my team win. And you know, I feel like I have, I wouldn't say pressure, but I can't find the word right now, I have to talk to everybody more. I have to be communicating on defense for us and also put on an example in the gym of, you know, how I work. And that's all it takes for some guys, just to see how guys work and they can put it into their game.
