Yeah, it’s a blowout, actually worse than that, but Jaden Hardy’s still worth watching. The kid is playing like it’s a championship game or something. – 9:48 PM

Like the Mavs, who played at 9 pm last night and traveled, Bulls have their own (slightly different) B2B. After flying to Atlanta tonight, tip is 6:30 Eastern Sunday, 30 minutes earlier than usual.
With 27-point lead, intrigued to see how much more Donovan uses starters. – 9:35 PM

Will he or won’t he? The Bulls schedule is about to get busy again the next few weeks, so what does that mean for Zach LaVine’s knee-management schedule? Plus, some Alex Caruso stuff. All in one click.

Interested to see how quickly Zach LaVine gets pulled from this game with a 29-point lead heading into the second half.
Donovan said LaVine could play both games of this weekend’s back-to-back. Some second-half rest could help the medical team feel more comfy with that. – 9:11 PM

Bulls are doing exactly what you should do to a team finishing a B2B in which opponent got to their hotel rooms around 4 am because of late tip/flight from Dallas. 22-6 early. – 8:22 PM

The Bulls are 4-for-7 from behind the arc to start tonight, but it’s the quality of looks they’re creating that really stands out. The ball movement has been fairly vigorous so far. – 8:20 PM

For as high-level and analytically driven as this league has become, sometimes an NBA coach winds up talking about missed free throws. Jason Kidd’s pregame in Chicago spent a fair amount of time on this from last night vs. Milwaukee. “Do you guys practice them?” Yes, yes they do. pic.twitter.com/IGtiIDiwwF – 7:34 PM

An all-American performance by Kendric Davis (27 pts, 9 rebs, 6 assists). Penny Hardaway pushed all the right buttons, too. Can’t underscore how important this will be for the resume with very few Q1 opportunities left. – 7:32 PM
