It didn’t take long for Chicago Bulls rookie Matas Buzelis to impact winning on an NBA floor. With 17.8 seconds left in regulation with his team up by two, the 19-year-old switched onto Cleveland Cavaliers guard Craig Porter Jr. at the left wing with the preseason opener hanging in the balance. On an island against a savvy, attack-minded second-year player, Buzelis shifted his feet, stood his ground and didn’t allow Porter to step inside of the perimeter, using his 6-foot-10 frame to contest the final shot attempt of the game and secure a 116-112 victory for Chicago at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse. “It was a tough training camp, but I learned a lot,” Buzelis told RG.org in a sit-down interview Tuesday morning before the game. “I expected it was gonna be tough, a lot of competition and playing against the best players in the world. Just learning how to read the game defensively, offensively. And then, it was just a lot of running, a lot of conditioning. High-intensity stuff.”
