Chicago’s E’Twaun Moore picked up the scoring void created by All-Star Jimmy Butler’s absence, finishing with a career-high 24 points. His previous career high was 19.

The Bulls came into last night’s game averaging seven three’s and shooting 35% per contest. Last night the Bulls collectively finished 11/21 on 52% from deep. The Kings ability to defend the long ball continues to be a major problem.
