The head coach of the Chicago Bulls, Billy Donovan, addressed the shooting struggles of his Big-3 in the loss to the Milwaukee Bucks in Game 1.
DeMar DeRozan (18 points) went just 6/25 from the field, while Zach LaVine missed 13 of the 19 shots he took (6/19, 18 points). For his part, Nikola Vucevic led Chicago in scoring (27 points), but on just 9/27 shooting.
“We had our opportunities. We didn’t make enough shots. But they also could be looking at themselves and say, ‘You know what?
We got a bunch of open shots like they did too and didn’t knock them down and we feel pretty good about our shooters,’
“Those guys are elite scorers. If they’re getting to spots, you want them taking (shots),” Dovonan told media after the game.
The Bulls now trail the series 1-0, with Game 2 taking place on Wednesday in Milwaukee.
