Tuned in late 3Q.
Randle goes to the bench with 10 secs left looking exhausted (33 of 36 mins).
Internet connection not up to snuff for 4Q.

Entering 4Q, Zo Ball -13; Caruso +20.
But I quite like the Ball-Caruso backcourt.
Ballhawks.

ZoBa missing a pair of wide open corner 3's ...
Bulls also fumbled a pass right under the hoop, losing an open layup.
Knix D getting lucky; needs to tighten up.

ObiT did a nice job the first half of 4Q spelling Randle.

Vuc misses an open 3 with just over 1' left.
Not good NYK D.

Knix close out the game without a C.
DeRozan takes advantage.
Caruso's steal on Randle the play of the game.

IQ not sharp in the desperation endgame.

Tie score. One minute left. Julius gets the rebound. I am in my kitchen screaming, "Pass, pass, pass."

Apparently he doesn't hear me.

And with 4 guards on the floor, including Burke trailing a few steps behind him, he dribbles all the way up himself, gets a 2nd defender and a 3rd and loses the ball.

Not a glorious finish.

Do not dribble into a Caruso double team. Make him chase you or stick with his man. The Kemba experiment has put us behind. Randle defending Vooch looked a lot better than Mitch trying it. I would have liked to see more Obi and less Mitch down the stretch. Glad to see Rose back and a smidge of Taj.

Missed for ee throws and turnovers from guys who should know betters really hurt us down the stretch and hurt me on an emotional level.

The Bulls are playing very good ball. The game was a good measuring stick. The gap is more execution than talent.

Finishing in the play in, keeping a lotto ticket, and also within 3 games of 5th with our 9 or 10 finish would not be the worst outcome of this regular season.

IQ was fairly invisible 1Q.  Didn't seem like anyone knew what his role was. 
One play Quix ran around setting multiple screens.

Mitch & Fournier have seemed a bit low energy lately.
Randle not sharp in the 1st half, missing layups and FT's.
Bulls sure get in the passing lanes.

I thought it odd Lakes didn't keep Caruso.  An energy guy.  But they wanted him to be a
3point shooter.  And once they added Westbrook, wanted to add min salary players.
I guess they wound up with A Very Brad on the cheap.  But I'd rather Caruso on my team than Westbrook!

Knox looked like he didn't know what his team was up to.  One play he started rotating out as his man (Caruso) cut back door for a layup.
Soon thereafter, Knox started cutting down the baseline and nearly got in the way of a lob inside to Randle.  Then Knox nails a straight on 3.  Down 21, I probably wouldn't have thought a Knox 3 ball was a good idea.  Then to close the half Knox is no help securing a rebound, as Bulls get two o-boards.

FourEva and Mitch with 3Q energy.  Burks too.  And Randle on the boards.   IQ splashing 3's.  Suddenly it's a fun uptempo game with Knix playing hard and energetic on D, as though they watched film of Caruso at halftime.

If you scroll down to #3, this article has a lot of stats on how good LaVine & DeRozan have been on O (especially in clutch time); Ball and Caruso on D.
