A career-night for young Ayo, as the former Morgan Park standout scored a career-high 29 points and gave Trae Young fits all evening. Key win for the Bulls …

Ayo Dosunmu when asked about his effectiveness guarding Trae Young.
“My length is able to affect him,” Dosunmu said. “But he’s a good player, and he brings the competitiveness out. I love competing against him because every play you’ve got to be ready.” pic.twitter.com/e7vSyJ61QL10:28 PM

Billy Donovan is challenging this foul call on Jevon Carter to try to take two FTs away from Trae Young. Bulls felt Young initiated contact. – 8:25 PM

Good minutes from Jevon Carter, who hit a 3, had a nice assist to Drummond and made Trae Young work. – 8:13 PM

Reminder: The Hawks can pretty much only tank if they trade Trae Young to the Spurs to get their picks back.
That’s a huge leverage position for a San Antonio team that could definitely use one of the most productive floor generals in the league.

More on this storyline

NBA Communications: The following has been released by the NBA: -via Twitter / February 14, 2024
Darnell Mayberry: Final: Bulls 136, Hawks 126. Solid road victory by the shorthanded Bulls, playing without Alex Caruso and Patrick Williams. Ayo Dosunmu scored a career-high 29 points on 12-of-18 shooting, going 5-of-7 on 3s. He also played outstanding defense on Trae Young — again. -via Twitter @DarnellMayberry / February 12, 2024
The Los Angeles Lakers could wind up on there, too. They have an All-NBA defensive anchor of their own in Anthony Davis and, after declining to make a major move at the deadline, are poised to have three first-round picks at their trade disposal starting on draft night -via marcstein.substack.com / February 12, 2024
