Bulls' Matas Buzelis: Delivers career-high mark in loss
Matas Buzelis recorded 14 points (6-13 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 0-1 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one block in 29 minutes during Saturday's 142-131 loss to the Grizzlies.Buzelis scored in double digits for just the second time this season, and this was the rookie's best scoring mark of the campaign.
