The Chicago Bulls spoiled the homecoming of 2017 first-round draft pick Lauri Markkanen, muscling out a 126-118 win over the Utah Jazz on Saturday at the United Center.
It was a seesaw battle — the Bulls led by as many as 10 points, the Jazz by as many as eight. The Bulls improved to 12-13 against teams with a .500 record or better and won their third straight against the top-three teams from the East and West this week.The Bulls scored the game’s first eight points and stayed ahead of the Jazz for the entirety of the first quarter.
Markkanen dominated around the rim, finishing with 28 points and four rebounds. The Bulls struggled to contain the forward’s athleticism, and Markkanen took advantage, smashing down seven dunks. Despite his 14-point first half, however, Markkanen couldn’t close the game for the Jazz, missing his final two attempts from 3-point range.
LaVine made 17 3-pointers in just more than 24 hours, dropping 11 against the 76ers on Friday and six more against the Jazz. While Saturday’s game was headlined by Markkanen’s return to the United Center and the Bulls’ second Pride Night celebration, fans were quickly distracted by a completely different question: What’s that dog doing?
