The Chicago Bulls still are struggling in the clutch.
After a sloppy night of ballhandling, the Bulls found themselves behind in the final five minutes of regulation Sunday against the Atlanta Hawks. And despite forcing overtime with a 10-point comeback — and even taking a one-point lead with 0.5 seconds left in overtime — the Bulls couldn’t close in a 123-122 loss on AJ Griffin’s alley-oop at the buzzer.
The Bulls are now 3-9 in clutch games, which the NBA defines as games with a margin of five or fewer points in the final five minutes.
