Torrey Craig, Andre Drummond Collide on Botched Alley-Oop in Bulls' Worst Play of Season

Originally posted on On Tap Sports Net | By Matt Berklan | Last updated Apr 10, 2024 2:15 AM ET

Throughout the 2023-24 NBA season, the Chicago Bulls have been hanging around the .500 mark. It's been an embarrassing ride as the front office preaches continuity, genuinely believing it will make the team more competitive. In the big picture, results similar to the past two seasons are likely on the horizon, barring a basketball miracle.

To this point, the Bulls haven't really had any "blooper" plays that stand out. But that changed Tuesday against the New York Knicks when Torrey Craig nabbed a steal and led an attack down the floor. Coby White was on the wing and Andre Drummond was trailing behind. But with no defender in sight, Craig threw an alley-oop to himself, or so he thought.

The trailer, Drummond, thought the lob was meant for him, leading to a mid-air collision between him and Craig.

This ~~highlight~~, lowlight — a "Shaqtin' a Fool" worthy occurrence — was one of many Bulls' blunders in Tuesday's 128-117 loss to the Knicks. The Bulls are trending in the wrong direction as the NBA Play-In Tournament approaches, and they're now a candidate to appear on SportsCenter's "Not Top 10."
