The Chicago Bulls lost to Kyrie Irving.
In a night where the Bulls had an opportunity to get one step closer to the Brooklyn Nets in the Eastern Conference standings, they let them score 132 points on 62.5 percent shooting from downtown.
Worse, Kris Dunn left, after falling to the floor 13 seconds into the game. Later, the team reported that he suffered a right knee injury and would not return (we’ll keep you updated). With the Bulls best defender on the sideline, Irving posted a historic night.
He scored 54 points, going an insane 19-23 from the field (3PT 7-9). Irving torched the Bulls from the start and dropped 27 points in the first half.

Anyway, the biggest concern now for the Bulls is how long Dunn will be off the court. After the game, Boylen told reporters Dunn will fly back to Chicago to visit team doctors, which isn’t the best sign.
Anyway, I’m going to try and go enjoy my Friday night. I recommend you do the same.
The Bulls hurt my soul.
