Despite forcing overtime, the Bulls failed to close another clutch game, which is defined in the NBA as any game with a margin of five or fewer points in the final five minutes.
“I had a coach tell me that until the clock hits 00:00:00, it ain’t over,” DeRozan said after the loss. When DeRozan missed a potential game-winning shot with 3.1 seconds to play, it was backup forward Derrick Jones Jr. who came to the rescue by snagging a rebound and getting fouled. against the Mavericks, the Bulls regressed to the mean in Atlanta with a low volume night from 3-point range. The Bulls went 7-for-27 from behind the arc, dropping slightly below their league-low average of 28.6 attempts per game.
Javonte Green returned in the second quarter after missing two games with a bone bruise in his right knee. Coach Billy Donovan previously said he planned to move the power forward back into the starting lineup once he was fully healthy to replace Williams, but Green played less than 15 minutes as he eased back into the rotation.
DeMar DeRozan scored 12 points in the fourth quarter and gave the Bulls their first lead since the second quarter with 3:32 remaining in regulation. But when DeRozan missed a potential game-winning shot with 3.1 seconds to play, it was backup forward Derrick Jones Jr. who came to the rescue by snagging a rebound and getting fouled.
