The Chicago Bulls learned the hard way on Tuesday night that all fast breaks are not good breaks.
During an absolutely bizarre sequence against the New York Knicks, Bulls forward Torrey Craig got a clear lane for an easy basket that he lobbed to himself on the backboard for the obvious dunk.
Well, his Bulls teammate Andre Drummond got confused and thought the lob was for him, as he went for the dunk at the same time as Craig did.
The shocking miscue sent Craig flying to the ground and the ball in a different direction from the hoop entirely.

Drummond was unfortunately injured right after this sequence, making it a very frustrating series of events for him and Chicago.
The Bulls have been a fringe playoff team all season, but the fringes can be an unflattering place to be in moments like this.
These types of mishaps don’t often happen to title contenders, more like teams that could use a good offseason reset.
