The Chicago Bulls lost their 12th game of the season with a 132-110 blowout loss to the Phoenix Suns, on Wednesday, November 30, on the road.

The Suns outscored the Bulls 32-25 in the first quarter, 32-18 in the second quarter, and 42-38 in the third quarter.
“There’s not a level where he can’t score,” said Suns coach Monty Williams via the Associated Press. “He can use both hands, he can score with a hand in his face and he’s willing to take the tough [jumpers].”
