The Bulls lost their second consecutive game for only the second time this season. After allowing 30 points in both of the first two quarters (and scoring only 13 themselves in the woeful first), the Bulls spent most of the last 24 minutes clawing their way back into this contest, mainly on the efforts of […]
Make no mistake. This was the Bulls’ worst 48-minute performance of the season. The Utah Jazz left Chicago with a win Wednesday night after the Bulls proved it was possible to lose a game in a more wretched fashion than their 20-point blowout loss to Brooklyn to end 2014. The Bulls set season lows in […]
The Bulls have had more emphatic wins than the one they notched tonight. They thumped the Knicks to open the year, mounted an impressive comeback over the Clippers in Los Angeles, claimed two victories over Toronto, won shorthanded in Memphis on a road back-to-back and came through with an emotional triumph in Washington. However, tonight […]
Disclaimer: I only caught the second half of this game, so by my reckoning, it was probably the worst game in the history of the sport. Positives: Mike Dunleavy (9-15, 23 points, 5 rebounds) made many shots. Negatives: no one else did. I guess Tony Snell (3-3, 9 points) looked alright for awhile, which is […]
The Chicago Bulls once again used a powerful fourth quarter effort to break down the New Orleans Pelicans and record their sixth straight win, ensuring Anthony Davis’ first visit to his hometown team ended in defeat. With six minutes to play in the third quarter, New Orleans trailed 61-60. The Bulls turned that into a […]
For the second time in four seasons, the Chicago Bulls and Los Angeles Lakers met to play on Christmas Day and once again there were major story lines underlying the action. On this day in 2011, the two teams kicked off the NBA season after a long, seemingly endless lockout. This year, the game marked […]
In a way, this felt like the first time we’ve actually seen the Bulls all season. Their offense hasn’t been this easy on the eyes in eons (per Basketball Reference, the wacky 2011-2012 lockout season is the only year Chicago has had a top ten offense in the Post-Jordan Era), but the Bulls under Tom […]
Yes, the Bulls won this game, 104-97, to improve to 16-9 on the season and 5-5 at home. But that’s not the story of this game. Jimmy Butler provided a rare bright spot in this drab, listless affair, shooting his way to a career-high 35 points on an array of jumpers including 4-7 from deep. […]
The Chicago Bulls recovered from an early 12-point deficit to thoroughly trample the Brooklyn Nets 105-80, pulling out their huge lead in the second half. Derrick Rose posted 23 points, one shy of his season-high 24 and looked vastly improved on recent performances. Rose shot 8-15 from the field, including 3-7 from behind the three […]
Just looking at the final score, a 112-102 loss to the team with the best point differential, road record and overall record in the league shouldn’t be too deflating, but that’s how it felt, with the team confirming as much after the game: Bulls locker room still closed 20 minutes after buzzer. Guessing the D and […]
