The Chicago Bulls closed the preseason with a 133-116 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Friday night in Chicago. Chicago finishes the preseason 3-2 and the rookie led the way again.
Caleb Wilson finished with 16 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 blocks in 23 minutes and a team high line like that is a real fantasy signal for a rookie. Wilson led Chicago in scoring on a night when the whole rotation ate.
Matas Buzelis added 14 points and 6 rebounds. Josh Giddey finished with 12 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists. Leonard Miller put up 12 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks for Minnesota in the loss.
Isaiah Evans led Minnesota with 21 points and five threes. The Timberwolves rested Anthony Edwards, LaMelo Ball, Rudy Gobert, Jaden McDaniels and Ayo Dosunmu. Chicago took care of the team in front of it and that is all a finale asks.
Chicago opens the regular season Wednesday, October 21 at Toronto. Minnesota opens the same night at Miami on ESPN.
