Each time Tiago Splitter's group got knocked down to the mat, they got up and fought back. Going 12 rounds against the world champs is something to be proud of.
The Chicago Bulls lost 133-127 to the New York Knicks on Wednesday night after surrendering a 19-point third-quarter lead. Despite allowing 43 points in the fourth quarter and trailing by 11 with under four minutes left, writer Grant Gugino argues that Chicago displayed a resilient, fighting team culture under head coach Tiago Splitter.
Key plays down the stretch by Matas Buzelis, Caleb Wilson, Josh Giddey, and Jalen Smith cut the deficit to three points with under a minute remaining. Although a late three-pointer by Norman Powell missed, Gugino highlights the squad's mental toughness and competitive spirit against New York.
