For the seventh time in NBA history, a player scored 70-plus points in a game. Unfortunately for the Chicago Bulls, it came at their expense. Yes, as part of a 145-134 overtime victory, Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell exploded for 71 points and 11 assists on 22-for-34 shooting (7-for-15 from 3-point range, 20-for-25 from the line). Not only is that the most points a player as ever scored against the Bulls in franchise history, the Cavaliers’ 21-point comeback was also the largest in an NBA game this season. Needless to say, it’s a gutting way for the Bulls to fall to 16-21 on the season — plus 7-13 in “clutch” games, 1-4 in overtime games and and 0-3 against the division rival Cavaliers.

Demar and Billy. That’s all I gotta say.
i give it up to Spida cause he was hot but, damn we're the assisted by alot of really really bad calls especially when said guy got a technical earlier complaining more than once……
billy was KILLING that gum
Gots to watch y’all after every bulls game
71 points! Dam! Who was guarding him?
Lol why yall post this lost so fast??? Wait til tomorrow afternoon to post like yall always do when they win or forget about it entirely like you did on the win against Miami!
Letting someone score 71 on you is embarrassing! This team is horrible!
Heres why the bulls suck:
Derozan- only has a predictable midrange game and can be stopped if u put a big on him
Lavine- disappears in key moments and isnt a leader
Vooch- isnt utilized enough in the post and often shoots to many 3's
Pat williams avgs 9ppg 3 rebs. Poor for a starter and hes pussy
Coby white- 7ppg
Dosunmu- 9 ppg
We have no double digit scorers outside of our "big 3" & evidenced by Minnesotas 150 don mitchels 71 tonight, we dont play good defense. Im a lifelong fan that hates this bulls team
This game has me on an emotional rollercoaster
Ive never seen such an individually talented team that is so equally flawed and bad!!!!
Don't understand why Billy didn't challenge the call on Zach's 3rd foul instead of Alex Caruso's trip foul. Wasted a challenge on the wrong play.
I keep hearing "The Bulls are really talented" but yet we lose. A what point is that not on coaching. I know Billy Goat got an extension, but damn, he's just sad.
They really ain’t gonna let them address the refs, huh? Lol
Only 6 offensive rebounds for the Bulls? Only 2 with the starting lineup! Almost no boxing out! I'm not saying that would have stopped Donovan Mitchell, but it would have taken the ball out of Cleveland's hands a little more while giving the Bulls second chance shots! Vucevic had 13 rebounds, but only 1 offensive. The average salary in the NBA is 7.5 million with the median salary being about $3.8 million, and all they can come up with is 6 offensive rebounds in a game? If you watch even the highlights, you'll notice a passive approach to rebounding. Rodman would have a field day in the league today! So sad!
The worst refs game I ever seen horrible calls all game
Blow it up
Prey for Demar Hamlin 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Once I saw the lane violation on Mitchell, PWill not boxing him out correctly is far more understandable. This after two lane violations on Caruso.
What Will Perdue said about Demar was spot on!!!!
How the play of the game is play where a whole lane violation was committed by the player awarded the play of the game
Officiating a little inconsistent?!?!? That was the WORST officiating I have EVER seen. Those refs should be fined. This is the THIRD game where the refs heavily affected and even changed the games outcome.
