Windy City Bulls News Release
Hoffman Estates, Ill. - The Windy City Bulls, presented by BMO, the NBA G League affiliate of the Chicago Bulls, surmounted a fourth-quarter comeback to down the Wisconsin Herd 106-104 on Tuesday night. Chicago Bulls two-way guard Jahmir Young led Windy City with 20 points, five assists, and three steals.
Chicago Bulls two-way forward EJ Liddell added 19 points, six rebounds, and four blocks to the victory. Center David Muoka recorded his third consecutive double-double, ending with 13 points and 14 rebounds, while also snagging a game-high four steals. Guard Javon Freeman-Liberty (16) and Chicago Bulls two-way forward Emanuel Miller (15) rounded out Windy City's five players in double figures.
The Herd came out hot, leading by 10 after the first. Wisconsin forward/center Henry Ellenson contributed 11 points in the opening frame. A back-and-forth second period put the Herd up a dozen heading into halftime. That lead would grow to 14 points before the final quarter, as Ellenson again dominated with a game-high 15 points in the third. The Bulls hit back in the fourth, taking the lead with under two minutes to play. Wisconsin tied things up with under a minute remaining, but a clutch three-pointer by Liddell with nine seconds left proved to be Windy City's dagger. Liddell and Freeman-Liberty combined for 19 points in the fourth quarter.
Ellenson led the Herd, and all scorers, with 35 points and 12 rebounds. Guard Stephen Thompson Jr. also recorded a double-double with 27 points and 10 rebounds. Wisconsin guard James Akinjo was the only player to post a double-double including assists, ending with 15 points and 11 dimes.
