Duane Rankin @DuaneRankin “I didn’t want to see the ice in the veins tonight.” Devin Booker on D’Angelo Russell missing that open 3 late that would’ve put T-Wolves up one. #Suns win by 3.
Wait for reaction to hearing Chris Paul scoring 19 in 4th and talk about flexing to get back at Karl-Anthony Towns. pic.twitter.com/OX3leFcsOU – 12:15 AM

Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba Billy Donovan putting Caruso in the starting lineup was a straight game changer
The defense is obvious
His cutting and ball moving offensively has made Lavine and Demar more effective – 12:06 AM
Rob Schaefer @rob_schaef For the 10th time in 14 games, DeMar DeRozan and Zach LaVine have each scored 20+ points – 12:06 AM

Each have 3 assists too – 11:35 PM
Jovan Buha @jovanbuha Halftime: Bulls 57, Lakers 48
The Bulls are shooting 55% and 56.3% on 3s. DeMar DeRozan and Zach LaVine have combined for 39 points. Russell Westbrook is having his most efficient scoring game of the season w/ 19 points on 8-of-14 shooting. LA’s bench has been nonexistent. – 11:35 PM
Mike McGraw @McGrawDHSports #Bulls lead Lakers 57-48 at half, still using the two dominant scorers system (DeRozan 22, LaVine 17).
Anthony Davis has 7 pts, 3 rebs, with Derrick Jones Jr. and Lonzo Ball guarding him for stretches – 11:34 PM
Kyle Goon @kylegoon HALFTIME: Bulls 57, Lakers 48.
Tough to win when the other team is 9 for 16 from three. Anthony Davis hasn’t been able to break through Chicago’s defensive approach, but Russell Westbrook (19 points) has helped keep the Lakers in it. – 11:34 PM
Mike Trudell @LakersReporter The Bulls came in averaging 9.9 3’s per game (last in the NBA).
But tonight, the 5th triple from LaVine alone, and then the 3rd from DeRozan, were the 9th and 10th of the half from Chicago, helping them stem a Lakers run and take a 57-48 lead into the break. – 11:34 PM
Bill Oram @billoram Lakers trailed by as many as 15 in the first half, but trail 57-48 at half after DeMar Derozan and Zach LaVine combined for 39 points. Russell Westbrook with 19 first half points for the Lakers. – 11:34 PM
KC Johnson @KCJHoop Bulls 57, Lakers 48 at half

Westbrook 19 pts
Davis 7 pts; 2-4 FGs – 11:33 PM
Sam Quinn @SamQuinnCBS That LaVine-DeMar pick-and-pop is so freaking lethal. – 11:33 PM
Chuck Swirsky @ctsbulls LaVine with 4-3s. DeRozan with 18. Bulls 50-37. – 11:23 PM
Brad Turner @BA_Turner Bulls shooting 61.7% from 3-ball range. LaVine is 4-for-7 from three. – 11:22 PM
Ryan Ward @RyanWardLA LaVine’s confidence is ridiculous. The transformation he’s made since landing in Chicago has been impressive. – 11:22 PM
KC Johnson @KCJHoop Zach LaVine earned that heat check. – 11:21 PM
Mike Trudell @LakersReporter Bulls have yet to cool off from 3. They’re 7 for 11 after the 3rd make from LaVine. – 11:20 PM
Chuck Swirsky @ctsbulls Lakers on a 16-6 run. Bulls 39-35 7:44 remaining-2nd quarter. Westbrook-14pts. DeRozan-13. – 11:15 PM
Mike Trudell @LakersReporter Led by Westbrook, LAL are starting to get into this super small version of Chicago’s paint here in the 2nd Q. All 3 FG’s have come inside. – 11:09 PM
Chuck Swirsky @ctsbulls Bulls 33-25 after 1. Bulls 57%. 5-8-3s. DeRozan with 9. Westbrook-8pts. – 11:06 PM
Mike Trudell @LakersReporter LAL got 2 FG’s from Westbrook, then AD’s first bucket of the game to close the 1st on a 6-0 run, trimming Chicago’s 14-point lead with 1:24 left in the quarter to 33-25 after 1.
Bulls won’t keep shooting 62.5% from 3, but LAL will need to shore up its paint D (14 CHI points). – 11:06 PM
Chuck Swirsky @ctsbulls Bulls on a 9-2 run up 31-19. DeRozan-9. LaVine-8. Ball and Jones-6. Bulls 61% 5-7-3s. Davis scoreless in 10 min. – 11:02 PM
Joe Cowley @JCowleyHoops Ball has early Westbrook duty. – 10:42 PM
Dane Moore @DaneMooreNBA Not enough for Paul + Booker late: Wolves 96, Suns 99
On tonight’s show:
– Going thru the final 2 mins play by play
– An efficient 35 + 13 for KAT
– Game of chaos = poor shooting both ways
– Definitely Ant’s worst game on O, but maybe best on D
– Finch goes with 8-man rotation – 10:39 PM

Kellan Olson @KellanOlson This game is a slog with a tight whistle so Booker is getting to the foul line. 12-of-12 in the late third quarter. – 9:52 PM
Duane Rankin @DuaneRankin Tech on Edwards as he bumped into ref.
Then Booker gets out in transition, Beverley called for foul.
Doesn’t appear as if Beverley touched Booker, but Finch didn’t have a challenge to challenge it.
Again, Booker 3-of-10 from field, but 12-of-12 on FTs, has 20 pts (11 in 3rd). – 9:51 PM
Duane Rankin @DuaneRankin “Ref you suck! Ref you suck!”
It’s getting a little heated inside @TargetCenterMN as Karl-Anthony Towns is even more upset after getting called for tech.

Kellan Olson @KellanOlson Beasley said something to Booker and that was not smart. Could have been “pancakes” for all I know but just don’t say absolutely anything to that dude. – 9:49 PM
Duane Rankin @DuaneRankin Booker gutting this one out.
2-of-9 FGs, but 8-of-8 from the line. #Suns T-Wolves tied at 52-52. – 9:42 PM
