Caleb Wilson hits five threes as Grizzlies hold off Bulls in preseason

Caleb Wilson scored 21 points and made five three-pointers for Chicago, but Memphis held on for a 104-100 preseason win on Friday night. The Bulls’ official account shared his second-half highlights, while NBA.com’s game recap confirmed the final score.

Wilson finished 7-for-17 from the field and 5-for-11 from three, numbers also listed in Chicago’s post. His shooting gave the Bulls a chance to come back after a quiet first half. According to Bleacher Report’s game report, he had just one point at the break before scoring 12 in the third quarter.

A late Wilson three brought Chicago within two points in the final minute, Bleacher Report reported. The comeback fell short, leaving Memphis with the exhibition win. The clip above is the Bulls’ own highlight post, embedded from its original source rather than downloaded or re-uploaded.

Memphis rookie Cameron Boozer also had a productive first half, recording 10 points, four rebounds and three assists while making three of five shots, according to the same report. The two rookies offered different stretches of impact: Boozer before halftime and Wilson during Chicago’s second-half push.

This was a preseason result, not a regular-season game. Wilson’s scoring is an encouraging single-game performance rather than proof of what his season averages or role will be. Readers can watch the NBA’s full recap through the linked league source for the wider game context.
