Bulls finish road trip 0-5 with embarrassing 135-105 loss in Denver
it was fun for a quarter before going off the rails The Bulls finishing a tough West Coast road trip in the altitude of the Mile High City against a terrific Nuggets squad wasn’t bound to be pretty, especially without Wendell Carter Jr., but they were actually fun and competitive for a little over a quarter thanks to the sweet shooting of Lauri Markkanen and some contributions from the bench. But things got ugly soon enough, and the result was a 135-105 shellacking to give the Bulls an 0-5 trip, a nine-game losing streak and a 10-35 record as they head back home. It looked like the...

Locked On Suns Thursday: Devin Booker returns to form but Suns lose to Raptors at the buzzer
The star playmaker looks healthy and that may be all that matters, but it would have been nice to steal a win on the road over the Raptors. We break down The Pascal Siakam Game, as this one will probably forever be known. Despite Devin Booker’s 30-8 game and magical second half, the Raptors’ depth stole the show at home. Without Kawhi Leonard, Toronto managed a 2-point victory over the Suns. We also hit on the inevitable Kelly Oubre Jr./T.J. Warren swap as Warren’s funk continues, the poor play from the rookie point guards and Deandre Ayton not taking a single shot in the second...
