NextImg:Torrey Craig’s wild self alley-oop attempt goes horribly wrong for Bulls

Bulls forward Torrey Craig must have thought he was playing in the NBA Slam Dunk Contest and not in a regular-season game against the Knicks with playoff implications.

Trailing 36-27 to the Knicks early in the second quarter on Tuesday night in Chicago, Craig got the ball in the open court, and instead of just dunking it regularly or even laying it in, he decided to throw the ball off the glass to himself, overthrowing it and missing the jam.

Torrey Craign’s alley-oop did not go according to plan.

Craig missed the dunk and fell down.

Veteran Andre Drummond was behind him and may have thought the pass was to him, but he couldn’t bail out Craig or convert either.

It turned out to be an embarrassing moment for the Bulls and coach Billy Donovan, who likely wasn’t thrilled by the botched showboating attempt.

That ugly flub wasn’t the difference in Tuesday’s game as the Knicks won 128-117, but it’s almost certainly a moment Craig likely will want to forget about.
