Bulls teammate Cristiano Felicio hilariously robs Dwyane Wade of triple-double
Without an ill LeBron James patrolling the court for the Cleveland Cavaliers on Saturday night, the Chicago Bulls easily took care of business, 117-99. The Bulls were led by their star, Dwyane Wade, who finished with 20 points (9-18 FG), 10 assists and 9 rebounds.
Do you notice something about that stat line? Yeah, it's one rebound shy of a triple-double. A triple-double, at Wade's age and career mileage, would be one of the more impressive feats of the season.
However, he didn't get it —- not because he didn't have the opportunity, but because he was straight-up ROBBED by teammate Cristiano Felicio! Watch as Wade goes up for the surefire final rebound of the game, only to have it swatted away at his fingertips:

Following the game, Wade (jokingly) told ABC's Lisa Salters: "My teammate doesn’t want me to be great.”
Felicio's reaction after finding out what he just did? Remorseful.

It's all in good fun, as the Bulls still got the win, but needless to say -— Felicio owes Wade a steak dinner, or 10 ...
P.S. Jimmy Butler had a triple-double, just sayin'...
