Following a successful turnover, the Bulls positioned themselves for an uncontested dunk, but ended up mishandling the play in a humiliating manner.
During a strange incident, Drummond and Craig simultaneously jumped up for the alley-oop and collided in the air. However, neither of them was successful in completing the dunk, leading to a humiliating turnover for the Bulls.
Torrey Craig led the quick play and chose to show off by executing a self alley-oop off the backboard. Though, it appeared that he and Andre Drummond were not on the same page as the center of Chicago seemed to think the pass off the backboard was meant for him.— Taco Trey Kerby (@treykerby) April 10, 2024
At the moment of the failed self alley-oop, Chicago was behind by nine points. This raises doubts about Craig’s choice to try such a maneuver.
To compound the situation, Drummond left the game shortly after due to an ankle injury he sustained on the next play. He was observed being transported to the locker room in a wheelchair.
Basketball fans were shocked by the Bulls’ disastrous fastbreak, and they shared many humorous comments on social media.
