🐂 The Chicago Bulls learned a hard lesson against Luka Doncic.

During the Bulls’ loss to the Los Angeles Lakers, Matas Buzelis found himself in a heated on-court moment with Luka Doncic after talking some trash during the second quarter.

Unfortunately for the Bulls, it woke up the wrong superstar.

Luka Doncic responded with 12 straight points and eventually finished with 51 points, 10 rebounds, and 9 assists, leading the Lakers to a 142-130 win.

On today’s episode of Chicago Bulls Central, Haize breaks down the moment between Matas Buzelis and Luka Doncic, what the young Bulls forward said after the game, and the important lesson young stars have to learn when challenging the league’s elite.

Despite the loss, Josh Giddey delivered another incredible performance, finishing with 27 points, 15 assists, and 8 rebounds, while continuing to establish himself as a key piece of the Bulls’ future.

We also discuss strong performances from Leonard Miller and Rob Dillingham, and what the final stretch of the season means for Chicago’s young players.
