Olbrich earns triple-double, but Windy City Bulls lose

The Windy City Bulls dropped its contest against the Sioux Falls Skyforce 122-129 on Wednesday night. Despite the loss, Chicago Bulls two-way forward/center Lachlan Olbrich put up an impressive 26 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists to notch his first NBA G League triple-double. The all-around performance by Olbrich comes in just his sixth game of his rookie season.

Facing the Skyforce for the second time this season, the Bulls kept the contest in close range throughout the night. Going on a run in the second quarter, Windy City secured a 10-point lead, but Sioux Falls clawed back to keep a 2-point advantage going into the half. Steady shooting from the Skyforce and difficulty from beyond the arc for the Bulls allowed Sioux Falls to extend its lead in the back half of the matchup. Despite late surges in the fourth of 15 points from Olbrich and 11 points from Essengue, consistency from the Skyforce earned the team the win.

Chicago Bulls forward Noa Essengue notched his first NBA G League double-double with 27 points and 10 rebounds. Chicago Bulls two-way forward Emanuel Miller put up 13 points and grabbed three rebounds. Bulls guard R.J. Nembhard and forward Mouhamadou Gueye each logged double-digit performances off the bench with 13 points for Nembhard and 10 points for Gueye.
