A key theme in the Billy Donovan post game presser is that the Bulls are not playing with enough desperation.

FINAL SCORE: Bulls 113 Pistons 124 Detroit missing seven players takes down the Bulls and is now 10-2 as Chicago falls to 6-5 on the season. MVP: Paul Reed 28 PTS, 13 REB, 6 AST, 30:45 MIN, 9/11 2P, 2/2 3P, 4/4 FT, 4 STL, 1 BLK, +26.

Paul Reed in 22 minutes vs the Bulls so far: 17 points 9 rebounds (5 offensive) 5 assists 3 steals 1 block 4/6 2p 2/2 3p 3/3 ft 91.2% true shooting +18

In addition to his decisiveness with the ball, what stands out to me from these highlights of Noa Essengue is his shot-readiness and, in lieu of the strength to get all the way to the basket at times, his use of the backboard. youtu.be/Pq8dPQVfRLg?...

Kylan Boswell and Andrej Stojakovic both fail to push their chair in after the press conference. As some know, one of the main things I track is chair manners.

Illini freshmen David Mirkovic and Keaton Wagler logged heavy minutes vs Texas Tech only trailing senior Kylan Boswell in playing time. Andrej Stojaković was coming back from an injury and likely on a minutes restriction. Tomislav Ivisic, Brandon Lee, and Mihailo Petrovic were out with injury.

#14 Illinois beats #11 Texas Tech to win the TSJ bowl and a star is born. Andrej Stojaković (son of Peja) 26 minutes 23 points 11/15 2p 0/1 3p 1/2 ft 3 rebounds 3 steals 2 blocks 1 assist +7

Kylan Boswell flagrant-1 foul called with Texas Tech down 5 with 12.5 seconds left. Illinois had a foul to give but Texas Tech now get two free throws and the ball after this play and a chance to tie the game.

JT Toppin for Texas Tech has been unguardable in this game. He has 35-points so far.

Andrej Stojaković has yourself a game. 10/14 from the field. He's been so good driving to the basket that the threat of a drive backs the defender up and creates space for the jumper.

Illinois has to double JT Toppin now, only way to stop him. Kylan Boswell comes in right at the turn to get a jump ball call possession arrow Illinois

Illinois can't guard JT Toppin and Texas Tech can't guard Andrej Stojaković

JT Toppin for Texas Tech has 29 points and 8 rebounds Texas Tech 65 Illinois 66 8:08 2nd Half FS1

Andrej Stojaković gets over the screen then gets into the passing lane to prevent the bounce pass to the rolling Toppin, then takes it all the way on the other end for an and one. He's been so important for Illinois on both ends.

Texas Tech has yet to miss in the second half. 11/11 from the field and with 12:49 left in the second half the game is tied all at 55 with Illinois

JT Toppin slam dunk on the roll

Illini freshman Keaton Wagler continues to impress, especially for being ranked the 250th best freshman in his class.

Illini freshman David Mirkovic pick n pop, pump fake, drive to the basket

How many called travels did Texas Tech have in the first half: 6?

The three point celebration by Big Z is something.

ANDREJ STOJAKOVIC. What a half for the Cal transfer. Driving layup to end the half with 12 points on 5-5 FG and ridiculous defense too. #illini up 45-32 at the half on No. 11 Texas Tech.

Andrej Stojaković is getting to where he wants to go on the court vs Texas Tech. He has 12 first half points and has not missed.

Booty Ball Bay Bay Watts has two fouls already in the first half, so Illini freshman David Mirkovic backs him down to the paint and no help comes.

Peja

Big Z rejects JT Toppin on one end and gets the transition layup at the other end. He's done well starting for his injured brother Tomislav

Andrej Stojaković gets to his spot and creates room for the jumper in the paint. Plus a shot of Peja in the crowd afterwards..

Big Z offensive rebound Big Z pump fake, side step three

Illinois hasn't had this type of rim protection in a long time. Big Z has been a menace this season and blocks LeJuan Watts here

Andrej Stojaković with nice patience here between both defenders hits the smooth floater. For non-Illini fans, this is Peja Stojaković's son

Andrej Stojaković rejects the screen and finishes with the left hand

Freshman David Mirkovic pick n pop three. Texas Tech started the game with a 7-0 run. Illinois has answered with a 11-0 run Texas Tech 7 Illinois 11 15:25 1st

This is the Spurs opponents’ collective shot chart with Victor Wembanyama on the floor. As you’d expect, they’re abysmal at the rim playing against him. Red = above average Blue = below average Shot Chart Tool: nbavisuals.com/shotcombo

Chicago Bulls record First five games: 5-0 Next five games: 1-4

0.4 seconds left in the game, should you put a defender on the player inbounding the ball or put a big under the basket instead?

Somebody else also had ten fourth quarter points for the Spurs
