CCI RECAP: The Warriors took control in the third quarter as they welcomed the return of Steph Curry who missed the last four games with a tailbone contusion. The future Hall of Fame player scored 32 points drilling six-three point field goals. The Bulls dished out 33 assists but committed 20 turnovers. Zach LaVine struggled going 4 of 16 from the floor, his second straight game under 20 points. It's apparent he's attempting to play through an ankle issue. Head Coach Billy Donovan changed up his lineup bringing Lauri Markkanen off the bench. Markkanen in 22 minutes scored 13 points and grabbed six rebounds. The Bulls lost Garrett Temple in the first half with a hamstring injury. Coby White missed his first game as an NBA player with neck spasms. The Bulls have lost four straight and six of seven.
