Bulls' Robin Lopez: Notches second straight double-double
Lopez totaled 13 points (6-15 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 11 rebounds, one assist and one block across 29 minutes in Monday's 113-88 win over the Trail Blazers.
Analysis:
It's the second straight double-double for Lopez, who was one of three Bulls (Jimmy Butler and Taj Gibson were the others) to achieve the feat in the blowout win. Lopez's playing time lagged early in the season, but the Bulls have leaned heavily on the center of late. Over his last five games, Lopez is averaging 31.8 minutes, and has churned out 10.6 points, 9.0 rebounds and 1.0 block per game during that span.
