As the Bulls face an uphill battle with a rebuild, Buzelis provided a glimmer of hope at the United Center on Tuesday night.
Chicago Bulls forward Matas Buzelis has his sights set high in the Slam Dunk Contest at NBA All-Star Weekend, and the rookie will be looking to hoist the Dr. J Trophy on Saturday.
Buzelis finished Saturday's 132-111 loss to the Warriors with 16 points (6-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal in 29 minutes.
