Bud was able to put the backups in with more than six minutes to go as this one got out of hand early and let the starters get some extra rest in advance of an early tip on Sunday.

Better defensive intensity from tip. That was obvious from the outset, with far crisper rotations, contests inside and on the perimeter and preventing Chicago’s players
