CHICAGO BULLS-GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS 132-118 (THE TABLE)
Golden State once again postpones the appointment with the second win in a row on the road, in a season in which confirms itself as the worst NBA team for performance away from its parquet: in fact, the 17th defeat out of 21 games played in Chicago comes at a safe distance from San Francisco, bogged down after the long interval in attack following a 42-run second quarter which had served to bridge the 15-length deficit accumulated in the first 12 minutes. In fact, Chicago does not break down, takes full advantage of Golden State’s 23 heavy turnovers and wins by dominating in the last quarter of an hour despite the attempted final outburst of a Steph Curry with 20 points, 10 rebounds and four assists with 8/15 shooting, while at his side the best scorer is Klay Thompson who puts 26 with 8/15 from the arc – demonstrating that he has found his hand, but unfortunately for his team he does not guarantee continuity of performance away to East .

The protagonist of the match, however, wears the Bulls shirt and is Nikola Vucevic, irrepressible in attack and author of 43 points – new career high since wearing the Chicago jersey – collected by shooting 18/31 from the field, 5/10 from the arc and to which he also adds 13 rebounds, four assists and four steals (with +12 plus/minus). Without the injured DeMar DeRozan, it is the Montenegrin center and Zach LaVine who take responsibility and shots, with the former Minnesota player putting up 27 despite the modest 1/8 from long range with nine rebounds and six assists. Chicago closes with more than 50% shooting team overall and takes a convincing victory before leaving for Paris for the match scheduled in Europe against the Detroit Pistons.
