The Bulls took control in the first half and extended their lead in the third quarter, as the trio of Ball, DeMar DeRozan and Zach LaVine combined for 91 of the Bulls’ 121 points. It was a DeRozan triple that gave the Bulls a 14-11 lead with 6:39 to play in the first quarter, and they never surrendered that lead for the rest of the game.
