Due to the Chicago Bulls’ unfortunate injury history, certain players are in positions they wouldn’t normally be in. Ayo Dosunmu, a third-year guard, is one such youngster who has stepped up to the plate in the wake of injuries sustained by important players like Zach LaVine and Patrick Williams. Furthermore, Dosunmu once again stepped up and made some clutch plays in a dramatic overtime victory against the Indiana Pacers, with Coby White being added to the injured list late in the game.

Indiana’s defense centered on DeMar DeRozan, denying him the ball after he got hot in overtime, scoring eight straight points to help Chicago take a narrow 127-125 lead. Others now had openings, which Dosunmu seized with both hands.
When Dosunmu had the ball in his hands and the shot clock was about to expire, Deebo motioned for Ayo to take the shot. With 44 seconds left, he delivered a hard layup that gave the Bulls a 129-127 lead. He did not let the game down. Billy Donovan, the coach of the Bulls, saw resonance in the play.
Donovan declared, “I give Ayo a lot of credit.”
He made a great nice slot drive downhill to make a layup in a two-point game. Torrey was found by Alex around the baseline thanks to a brilliant play. Men must take the initiative and make plays. DeMar can’t be the only one. And he is aware of that.
Driven to recover, Dosunmu concluded with four rebounds, three assists, two blocks, and twenty points on seven of twelve shooting. The former Illinois standout acknowledged that following the embarrassing loss to Dallas the other night, he and the Bulls wanted to get back on track.
“We were aware that the Dallas (blowout loss) on Monday wasn’t representative of who we are or have ever been,” Dosunmu stated.
“We desired to move on from that game. And this game was very important.
