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…
March is here. Our petty anger never left. While the rest of the CHGO crew is at the United Center watching the Big Ten Tourney – Luke Stuckmeyer, Matt Peck and Lawrence Benedetto are back in studio airing their sports grievances. What gets your blood boiling in Chicago sports? It’s time to vent. Plus, the Bulls win in Denver?! Lonzo…
In yet another gut wrenching chapter in the Lonzo Ball knee recovery saga, ESPN reported on Thursday morning that “there is a growing possibility” the Bulls guard may need a third surgery, which would hold him out at least six more months. Ugh. The Sun Times followed up with reporting that indicates the Bulls haven’t come to a decision on…
Did that really just happen? What? The Denver Nuggets are the best team in the West. They have the best home record in the league. They have the second best offensive rating in the league. And of course, the Bulls come to town and wipe the floor with them 117-96. After an ugly four-game stretch including losses to the Pacers,…
