In their first game of the In-Season Tournament, the Chicago Bulls fell to the Brooklyn Nets by a score of 109-107. It was a close contest throughout, but in the end, the Nets were able to eke out a win over Chicago despite the Bulls’ attempt at a starting lineup change for the first time this season.
Head coach Billy Donovan moved Patrick Williams to the bench amid his early-season struggles. The 22-year-old looked rough through the Bulls’ first few games, but against the Nets, he shot 2-of-3 form deep and put up 10 points. Unfortunately, it didn’t result in a Bulls win.
After the game, Williams spoke about his move to the bench.
