Morant had a night to forget as he shot just seven of 25 from the field and zero of four from the 3-point line while Tyus Jones finished with just three points on one of six shooting off the bench.

Meanwhile, the Chicago Bulls have been building nicely as they are now on a six-game win streak after outlasting the Hawks in a 112-108 home win on Thursday.
