"The Bulls were doing what they could to tank this game ahead of time, with Josh Giddey and Nick Richards late additions to a growing Bulls injury report that also includes Matas Buzelis, Jalen Smith, Anfernee Simons, and Zach Collins."
"Billy Donovan, fully embracing the tanking spirit, dusted off two-way players Lachlan Olbrich and Yuki Kawamura for rare first-quarter minutes, and even started playing two-time G League MVP Mac McClung late in the second half."
"An 11-0 Bulls run shrank the Suns' margin in the third quarter for no reason. Phoenix, of course, boasts a couple cheap-foul artists in Dillon Brooks and Grayson Allen, both of whom found their availability limited late as they drummed up five personal foul calls a piece from some unsympathetic refs."
"The contest was, eerily, a one-possession game (111-108 Suns) with a smidge over two minutes to play, but thankfully a 9-2 Suns closing run courtesy mostly of Devin Booker, Jalen Green and Mark Williams helped wrap things up for good."
The UCLA Bruins defeated the South Carolina Gamecocks decisively in the NCAA championship game.
