Dane Moore @DaneMooreNBA DLo: “We got killers, man… The heavy scouting report on Karl, that forces me and Ant to get in where we fit in. Then you gotta really respect Ant for getting into the paint and being able to explode at any moment. I try to do the same for myself… They can’t stop all of us.” – 12:14 AM

Christopher Hine @ChristopherHine D’Angelo Russell:
“I think our fans made it intense. I don’t think us playing the Grizzlies made it intense. Our fans, they were up and loud and excited the whole game. We felt that energy. We fell into our own. You can credit the fans once again.” – 12:08 AM

Dane Moore @DaneMooreNBA D’Angelo Russell when asked what he anticipates playing James Harden and Joel Embiid tomorrow:
“They gotta worry about us. That’s what I anticipate. They gotta guard us. They gotta stop us.” – 11:37 PM

Dane Moore @DaneMooreNBA Chris Finch on D’Angelo Russell:
“He’s really good at attacking drop coverages because he sees so much of it. He’s in the midrange a lot. He’s very comfortable. But he has the ability to get even deeper and tonight he was able to do that because they just kept dropping on him.” – 11:33 PM

KC Johnson @KCJHoop DeMar DeRozan on his 3-point play with 15.1 seconds left: “When you’re in those moments, you gotta take it on. I love the moments. I love the challenge. I love the opportunity. It’s fun to me.” – 11:28 PM

Julia Poe @byjuliapoe One thing you hear about this Bulls team a lot is how unselfish they are, from bench players like Coby White to starters like Vooch.
But Ayo Dosunmu credited DeMar DeRozan for something different tonight: “He knows when it’s time to be selfish.” – 11:28 PM

Darnell Mayberry @DarnellMayberry Ayo Dosunmu on DeMar DeRozan: “We’re witnessing history. What we are witnessing right now is something that people are going to remember for a long time. It’s one of those things that’s going to be a record for a pretty long time.” – 11:23 PM

Drew Hill @DrewHill_DM Ja Morant said the Timberwolves are probably his favorite team to play against. He called them a tough team to play against and credited DLo, KAT and Anthony Edwards.
“(Is it a) rivalry? I don’t know. I don’t really look into all that stuff.” – 11:18 PM

Joe Cowley @JCowleyHoops Tristan Thompson said he not only idolizes Rodman, but wants his number retired, and tries to live his life like Rodman’s on and off the court. Might want to keep it to more on than off … at least for the next few months … then be you, big man! – 11:13 PM

Rob Schaefer @rob_schaef Tristan Thompson says he idolized Dennis Rodman growing up. Advocates for his No. 91 to be retired by Bulls
They’ve never met, but Thompson said they follow each other on Instagram – 11:10 PM

KC Johnson @KCJHoop Tristan Thompson: “The energy tonight felt like postseason energy.”
He knows what United Center playoff crowds are like from his Cavs days. – 11:04 PM

Micah Adams @MicahAdams13 DeMar DeRozan is averaging 8.4 points per game in the 4th quarter.
Only one in Kobe Bryant’s entire career did he average more fourth quarter points per game than DeRozan is right now.
The mid-range. The pump fakes. The footwork. The patience.
DDR is going full Mamba. – 10:59 PM

Dane Moore @DaneMooreNBA Anthony Edwards on D’Angelo Russell’s 4th quarter: “He was incredible. Reminded me of myself (laughing).” – 10:58 PM

Jared Weiss @JaredWeissNBA Al Horford after Celtics scored 30+ points in each quarter tonight: “We feel like we found something the past few weeks and it’s just good that after the break we came out and didn’t take a step back.” – 10:50 PM

Keith Smith @KeithSmithNBA Al Horford: “I thought Marcus Smart was great pushing the pace for us tonight. I’m trying to push the ball. Everyone is playing faster. It makes a big difference for us offensively.” – 10:49 PM

Gerald Bourguet @GeraldBourguet Jae Crowder said his first reaction to the Chris Paul news was checking on him to see how he was doing and whether he needed surgery. Crowder believes this is an opportunity for the rest of the Suns to step up and grow in his absence – 10:48 PM

Keith Smith @KeithSmithNBA Al Horford said he thought the Celtics had a great practice yesterday and that carried over to shootaround today and the game tonight. – 10:47 PM

StatMuse @statmuse DeMar DeRozan in February:
35.9 PPG
6.1 RPG
5.5 APG
58.4 FG%
He’s set to join Michael Jordan as the only players to average 35+ points on 55% shooting in a month since the three-point era (1980). pic.twitter.com/HwoVj3zR24 – 10:40 PM

Jamal Collier @JamalCollier DeMar DeRozan finishes with 37 points, 12 in the 4th quarter and 5 points in the final minute.
The Bulls are on a six-game winning streak – 10:36 PM

Kellan Olson @KellanOlson A very good indicator of how good Booker is at getting the 0.5 offense started is Bridges, Crowder and Johnson all having at least 17 points and 4 assists tonight. – 10:36 PM

Tim Bontemps @TimBontemps Wolves win 119-114. D’Angelo Russell’s 23 points in the fourth quarter wins the first game out of the break for Minnesota. Memphis has now lost two straight games for the first time since dropping three in a row just before Christmas. – 10:36 PM

Dane Moore @DaneMooreNBA The Wolves can play with the Grizzlies
Wolves 119, Grizzlies 114
On tonight’s show:
– DLo *takes over* 4th quarter

– Size problems (26 O rebounds allowed) – 10:35 PM

Sarah K. Spencer @sarah_k_spence Trae Young misses a shot on one end, DeMar DeRozan hits a fadeaway and makes a FT on the other to put the Bulls up 110-108 with 15.1 seconds to play. – 10:26 PM

Dane Moore @DaneMooreNBA Grizzlies have 3 team fouls and DLo rips through on back to back possessions.
That’s 5 team fouls — and now DLo is at the line. He’s gettin really good at this Chris Paul stuff. – 10:16 PM

Drew Hill @DrewHill_DM D’Angelo Russell is torching the Grizzlies in the 4th. Up to 24 points.
He’s scored 28, 29 and 30 already against Memphis this season. – 10:14 PM

-116 plus/minus – 10:01 PM

KC Johnson @KCJHoop Even Tristan Thompson, who guards smaller players in space pretty well, was like, ‘Wow” on that Bogdanovic stepback 3. The two exchanged some good-natured words at quarter’s end. – 9:51 PM

Julia Poe @byjuliapoe Tristan Thompson with exactly the type of play the Bulls need out of him: pulls down an offensive board, fights through two defenders to draw a foul, sinks both FT’s. – 9:47 PM

Nets – 6-27 threes – 9:32 PM

Julia Poe @byjuliapoe Tough shooting night for Vooch. He’s 3-for-12 from the field, finally breaking a dry streak after missing a pair of bunnies. He yanked the net in frustration after one of his missed floaters. – 9:29 PM

Dane Moore @DaneMooreNBA Wolves keep running what they call “2-1 slash” — a weaving action from Pat Bev to DLo, that immediately pivots into DLo-KAT pick and roll.
A lot of ways to punish a moving defense — particularly Adams — when KAT is in the second part of the action. And they are punishing it. – 8:59 PM

Gerald Bourguet @GeraldBourguet Halftime: PHX 48, OKC 45
Booker: 8 Pts, 4 Ast, 4 Stl

Nets – 4-19 threes – 8:50 PM

Julia Poe @byjuliapoe Tristan Thompson with a solid first shift: 5 points and 4 rebounds while Vooch gets 7 minutes on the bench. – 8:49 PM

KC Johnson @KCJHoop Tristan Thompson is strong fit for the Bulls. He doesn’t need the ball to be effective. But when he has it, he stays within his strengths. He’s also very vocal defensively.
Our guy @Rob Schaefer raised him as an ideal fit in the buyout market months ago on the Bulls Talk podcast. – 8:47 PM

Julia Poe @byjuliapoe Tristan Thompson enters his first game in a Bulls jersey, earning a warm cheer from the UC crowd – 8:32 PM

Duane Rankin @DuaneRankin Booker looks inside to see Ayton, then kicks it to Crowder for 3.
Next trip. Booker found Ayton, but Ayton mishandled pass.
#Suns up 12-10. – 8:22 PM

Kristian Winfield @Krisplashed The Celtics have opened the floodgates and have a 45-25 lead over the Nets here at Barclays Center. This much was expected: The Nets’ best active players tonight are *checks notes* Patty Mills, Seth Curry and Andre Drummond. – 8:22 PM

Julia Poe @byjuliapoe DeMar DeRozan blazes out with three early buckets as the Bulls take a 10-0 lead before forcing an Atlanta timeout.
Whole team looks bouncy and rested after a week off games. – 8:18 PM

Julia Poe @byjuliapoe Billy Donovan noted before the game that facing the Hawks — who are No. 2 overall in offensive rating — will be a fitting test for the Bulls defense coming off the break.
Opening the game with a Vooch steal for an Ayo dunk is a decent start to that challenge. – 8:15 PM

Abby Chin @tvabby Al Horford doing work trying to box out Andre Drummond. That’s not an easy job. – 7:52 PM

Duane Rankin @DuaneRankin #Suns starting lineup in first game this season minus Chris Paul (thumb) tonight at OKC:
