Watch: Nikola Vucevic Posterized Pau Gasol
(CBS) A 121-114 loss Monday night to the offensively challenged Magic left the Bulls quite salty afterward.
Coach Tom Thibodeau took his team to task, saying among many things, "If we're going to come in and just try to outscore people, we're not going anywhere."
Perhaps no play being symbolized Chicago's recent defensive woes more than a third quarter dunk by Orlando big man Nikola Vuvevic. One of the few traditional post players in the NBA in this era, Vucevic spent most of the night backing his way into the paint and finishing strong, scoring a game-high 33 points on 16-of-24 shooting.
He also took Gasol off the dribble and finished with what most would call the nastiest dunk on the Bulls of the season. Watch it above.
