Nikola Vucevic entered play averaging 12.5 points and shooting 34.4 percent through 2 games. Bulls ran first play of the night for him and looked his way a lot in post/PnR during first stint. He’s up to 9 points (4-7 FG, 1-2 3P) and 5 rebounds through 9 minutes. – 8:30 PM

Why Javonte Green might be turning into a fan favorite, but was a favorite of Zach LaVine’s back to last season. Plus, Patrick getting picky and rotation talk.

Light-hearted moment in Dwane Casey’s pregame presser. Was asked about keys to improvement for Killian Hayes, through lens of Hayes playing well against Bulls last year as a rookie.
Casey, with a laugh: “That was last year’s Bulls team… A lot of those guys aren’t here anymore.” – 6:38 PM
