The Bulls still lead the series 3-2, but after dropping two straight games, the group’s confidence has taken a hit. (Jimmy) Butler acknowledged that as a leader of this team, he has tried to speak to teammates in order to get the group back on the same page.
“I have,” Butler said. “I’ll stay on us about it. I’m supposed to be the prime-time defensive guy, and I haven’t been guarding a soul. I’ve been worried about offense too much, and I need to change that quickly or it’s going to be my fault.”
