Danuel House Rumors

The play proved a pivotal moment in the game. Had Donovan’s challenge been successful, the Bulls would have cut their deficit to 99-97 with just over five minutes to play. Instead, Danuel House buried a 3-pointer on Houston’s next possession, making the score 102-94. “It was such a big play in the game, that’s why I challenged it,” said Donovan, who typically reserves his coach’s challenge for high-leverage plays in the final moments of games. “I lost the timeout, but I figured it was three points, potentially four if they would’ve reviewed it and he (Ball) would have been fouled. If it was a four-point play, it would have cut the lead to one.”
