Ayo Dosunmu continues to settle into the NBA, and he had his best performance of his young rookie season in a Monday night win.
Facing off against Boston on the road, Dosunmu and the Bulls found themselves down by 19 points at one point. Fortunate, Chicago did not fold as the Bulls clawed back against the Celtics.
After fighting all the way back, Dosunmu provided a go-ahead 3-pointer that was flawless from the wing:

For the game, Dosunmu finished with a season-high 14 points. That was third-most on the Bulls and the highest output off the bench for Chicago. His previous high was 7 points in the season opener.
Dosunmu made sure to be efficient, going 6-for-6 from the field while hitting both 3-point attempts. He added 4 rebounds and 2 assists while turning in a +/- of +15 in Chicago’s 14-point victory.
After the game, Bulls head coach Billy Donovan praised Dosunmu as a “fearless” player. It is definitely a strong outing and a nice performance for the rookie to build on:
“He’s fearless. His makeup is special.”
