The Bulls nearly choked away a 14-point lead against the Blazers on Tuesday night, but Andrew Goudelock scored all five of the team's points in overtime and SummerBulls did what SummerBulls do, staying unbeaten by defeating SummerBlazers 80-78. While Goudelock struggled shooting the ball after tearing it up in the first two games of Las Vegas Summer League, Marquis Teague was there to pickup the slack on the offensive end.
Believe this: Marquis Teague is shooting 100 percent from three-point range in Summer League (on four attempts). Teague scored 25 points on 7-of-14 shooting and went 3-for-3 from deep to pace SummerBulls throughout the game. Teague had an interesting matchup against the Blazers' C.J. McCollum, the No. 10 pick from this year's draft. Neither could stop each other all night. McCollum finished with 27 and hit a game-tying three-pointer with 10 seconds remaining. Teague didn't look good defensively, but he was a killer with the ball in his hands.
NBA guards are generally amazing athletes, but even by those standards, Teague looks phenomenally quick. He was driving by McCollum and finishing at the rim all night.
