Dave Telep joined San Antonio in 2013, but his résumé goes way beyond the front office. Before that, he was a senior national recruiting analyst for ESPN.com, a sideline reporter for ESPNU, and a studio analyst for Recruiting Nation.
Bryson Graham, 39, comes from the 2009 class of Texas A&M University, where he suited up for the Aggies from 2006 to 2009. He was part of the team that made it to the 2007 Sweet Sixteen and reached the second round of the 2008 and 2009 NCAA Tournaments.
The Bulls were doing what they could to tank this game ahead of time, with Josh Giddey and Nick Richards late additions to a growing Bulls injury report that also includes Matas Buzelis, Jalen Smith, Anfernee Simons, and Zach Collins.
Thanks to a defense-free 126-110 road loss to the Sacramento Kings on Sunday, our 26-38 Bulls remain in the ninth slot in Tankathon's reverse standings, behind the 23-39 Memphis Grizzlies and the 21-43 Dallas Mavericks.
CHICAGO - Karl-Anthony Towns had 28 points and 11 rebounds for his NBA-leading 39th double-double and the New York Knicks outlasted the sliding Chicago Bulls 105-99 on Sunday night for their second straight victory. Towns scored six straight points - on a 3-pointer, a layup and free throw - after Chicago took a 95-94 lead with 3:52 left in regulation on Matas Buzelis' 3.
Giddey has been in the midst of his best season as a pro, averaging 18.6 points while slashing .462/.366/.775, along with 8.8 assists, 8.6 rebounds, and 0.9 steals in 34 healthy bouts (31 starts). His health probably stopped him from having at least a chance at cracking the Eastern Conference coaches' reserves list for this year's surprisingly watchable All-Star Game.
