Dominant game by Jimmy Butler wasted as Bulls lose to 76ers
Chicago Bulls guard/forward Jimmy Butler scored 36 points with 11 assists, seven rebounds, three steals, and zero turnovers in Friday's 117-107 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers.
What It Means:
The Bulls are just awful right now, but Butler keeps carrying the team on his back as he led the team in assists for the second-straight night. The All-Star took 24 shots, went to the line 21 times and played 42 minutes despite the Bulls being down double-digit points most of the game. Don't expect any rest for Butler down the stretch as long as the Bulls have a shot at the postseason.
Butler finished the night with a 135.3 offensive rating, 31.9% usage rate, and a game-high 35.3 nERD rating, according to numberFire live.
