Bezhanishvili has double-double in Windy City Bulls victory

The Windy City Bulls earned a double-digit win Saturday evening, taking down the Motor City Cruise 116-101. Chicago Bulls two-way forward Emanuel Miller led all scorers with 32 points, shooting 59% from the field, tying his scoring career high and taking down a game-high 12 rebounds to make the performance a double-double.

The Bulls shot 76.5% from the field and 80% from beyond the arc in the first quarter for a lead Windy City never lost. Despite fighting back in the second and a long-range 3 by Motor City forward John Ukomadu putting the Cruise behind by just one, the Bulls steadily built back their lead, and by the half Windy City had four of the team’s five starters in double digits. Dominating the paint and the fastbreak, the Bulls continued to run away with the game.

For Windy City, Miller was joined by two fellow Bulls with double-doubles. Windy City forward Kevin Knox II ended with 25 points and 10 rebounds. Windy City forward/center Giorgi Bezhanishvili knocked down a season-high 19 points, going 8-for-11 from the field while also grabbing 10 rebounds. Rounding out Bulls in double digits, guard Mac McClung notched 21 points, six assists and two blocks. Coming off the bench, Windy City guard R.J. Nembhard logged 11 points.
