Coming off of an encouraging win against the Lakers on Sunday afternoon, the NBA scheduling gods were not kind to the Bulls. The Bulls had the pleasure of facing the Clippers in the same building on Monday night, and the end result was not pretty. The Clippers won 124-112 in one of the most dominant offensive performances from a Bulls…
There is perhaps nothing Chicago Bulls coach Billy Donovan has harped on more this season than navigating momentum. What happens that allows the Bulls to gain momentum? What allows opponents to stop the Bulls runs? Why does that often result in the Bulls blowing leads? How can they learn to shut off the faucet on these teams? It has been…
The Bulls’ point differential took a hit after their 25-point loss to the Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday. But they more than made up for it with a 28-point win against the Portland Trail Blazers on Friday night. Winning 124-96, the Bulls got back on track in the first of their three-game road trip. Thought DeMar DeRozan (quad) and Javonte Green…
From the first two possessions of the game, it was clear the Bulls were going to be in for a tough night. On the first play down, PJ Tucker corralled an offensive rebound and found De’Anthony Melton for a three. Immediately following the make, Tyrese Maxey picked up full court and stole a lazy inbounds pass from Patrick Williams and…
The last two weeks prior to Monday night’s game, the Philadelphia 76ers have been the best team in basketball. And it hasn’t been remotely close. In the middle of an eight-game winning streak, the 76ers were the best offense in the league over that period, scoring 131.5 points per 100 possessions. For perspective, the Kings are on pace to finish…
“It was a professional win,” Patrick Beverley said after the Bulls beat the Miami Heat 113-99. A professional win, yes. But also a win in a new way. An adjust-on-the-fly and overcome adversity win. Unlike Friday night’s game in which Zach LaVine and DeMar DeRozan combined for 88 points, Saturday’s win was a more balanced effort. Given the way the…
The Bulls have been burned in the clutch too many times this season. It happened against the Magic. It happened against the Hawks. It happened against the Pacers. And Wednesday night, it happened again against the Kings. They weren’t letting that happen again. It took two overtime periods to close them out, but the Bulls beat the visiting Minnesota Timberwolves…
]DeMar DeRozan got fouled on a three-pointer and hit a game tying free throw with just 10 seconds to go in Wednesday night’s game against Sacramento. But that was too much time for the Kings. De’Aaron Fox joined Jalen Suggs, AJ Griffin and Tyrese Haliburton with game-winning shots against the Bulls in the closing moments. Kings win 117-114. Gut punch.…
Over 67 games this year, the Bulls have proven they are a good, if not elite defense. It’s their offense that has straggled behind. In the eight games since the All-Star Break in mid-February, the Bulls have continued on that trend as the fifth-best defense. But something seems to have flipped with the offense as they are now the eighth-best…
Don’t look now, but the Bulls are streaking! Two straight wins, one against the best team in the west, one against the worst team in the west, with Saturday night’s 119-111 win over the Houston Rockets. The Rockets are a mess. Through three quarters, they shot 15-of-23 on threes, which carried them throughout most of the game. But the Bulls…
