The hapless Chicago Bulls had no answer for the monster that is Denver Nuggets All-Star Paul Millsap early in their game on Thursday night.
After seeing Jamal Murray miss a three from the top of the key, Millsap powered over Lauri Markkanen for an absolutely emphatic dunk that almost sent the entire Nuggets’ bench on to the court.

We’re not even too sure what to say about this. Markkanen had absolutely no chance. Millsap threw that down like the rim had done him wrong or something.
The Bulls themselves entered Thursday’s action with a 10-34 record. Plays like this tell us the story. How about a box out? My word.
