January 7th was one of the losses for the Bulls that made you say, “Uh, what just happened?”
The Bulls were thoroughly outplayed and outworked by the sub-.500 Utah Jazz at the United Center 12 days ago.
Everything that could’ve gone wrong for the Bulls — minus a severe injury or two — did go wrong. How bad was it?
The most points the Bulls scored in a quarter that night before the fourth?
19.
NINETEEN.
That’s not good.
The Derrick Favors/Rudy Gobert frontcourt dominated up front for the Jazz, while the Bulls were stuck in neutral on defense.
Oh, and not to mention the Bulls shot 33.3% (28-for-84) from the field in the blowout loss. Can you say, “Let’s burn the tape of that one and move on?”
