On Saturday evening, the Chicago Bulls picked up their second straight win with an impressive road win over the Minnesota Timberwolves. The Bulls got a well-balanced scoring effort in this one, including 18 points from 2024 lottery pick Matas Buzelis.
At one point in the game, cameras caught Buzelis sharing an unsavory moment with a Timberwolves fan amid the upset.
It's unclear if the NBA itself will have anything to say about this, as Adam Silver and company don't usually take well to players making obscene gestures. It's also unclear what exactly the fan said or did to prompt such a reaction from Buzelis.
The Bulls have now won two straight games, having defeated the Atlanta Hawks in overtime the night prior, making Saturday's victory even more impressive, considering that it was on the second leg of a back-to-back with travel.
In both games, the Bulls have used hot shooting from the outside, combined with unusually cold shooting from their opponents, to earn wins. Over the course of the first few weeks of the season, Chicago was ice-cold from the perimeter. While the Bulls aren't exactly loaded with sharpshooters, the team was still due for some positive regression to the mean, and it seems that this has finally come to pass.
The Bulls now sit at 3-9 on the season, not exactly a great record but still not out of the mix, considering how poor the Eastern Conference overall has been so far this year.
Chicago will look to make it three wins in a row when they next hit the floor on Monday evening for a road game vs the Cleveland Cavaliers.
