Doug McDermott scores 12 in NBA debut for Bulls

[Da Coach]

The Bulls clobbered the New York Knicks in NYC in the season opener for both teams. The Bulls had a 53-43 lead over the Knicks at halftime, but then had a huge 3rd quarter to pull away and win 104-80. They lead by 35 points with 5 minutes left in the game.
Doug McDermott played 24 minutes off the bench despite the Bulls frontcourt depth. He was 5-9 from the field, and 2-5 from three for 12 points.
A nice debut for Doug.

One more note about tonight's Bulls-Knicks game-
Former Wichita State star Cleanthony Early got into the game late, played 7 minutes and had 1 basket. But ironically, he was given the assignment to guard Doug McDermott!

The Bulls won this one easily and the buildup seemed to hint that all the Knicks people expected to be competetive

Knicks' Cleanthony Early is having nagging knee problems and will have surgery and be out at least one month...
