Tristan Thompson Out For Blood Against Grayson Allen When Bulls Take On Bucks

Veteran center Tristan Thompson has only been on the Chicago Bulls for a couple of weeks, but he’s already making a name for himself as the team’s enforcer.

Prior to the Bucks-Bulls matchup at the United Center in Chicago on Friday night, Thompson made it clear that Milwaukee wing Grayson Allen better steer clear of him.

Earlier in the season, Allen took a cheap shot on the Bulls’  Alex Caruso. And even though Tristan Thompson wasn’t on the squad at that time, he wants to get even.

Check out the dirty Grayson Allen play that Tristan Thompson was referring to below:

Tristan Thompson still has not taken the floor with Alex Caruso in game action, but the big man has proven to be a valuable asset off the bench in his short time in Chicago.

He has brought a physicality that the team desperately lacked prior to the Trade Deadline, and is currently averaging a little over six points-per-game. The Bulls have hit a bit of a skid as of late — losing in each of their past three games.

But perhaps seeing Grayson Allen playing across them will be the motivation the Bulls need to get back on track. It’ll be interesting to see if Tristan Thompson stands by his words tonight, that’s for sure.
