Breaking down the Chicago Bulls clutch plays against the Orlando Magic
Late in the first overtime period against the Orlando Magic, things looked grim for the Chicago Bulls. They were down by three and were struggling to execute properly, resulting in turnovers that could have allowed the Magic to seal the deal. Instead, they got another chance at it, still trailing by three with 15 seconds […]
Chicago Bulls 128, Orlando Magic 125: What did we learn?
Before the Chicago Bulls won a marathon triple-overtime game against the Orlando Magic, 128-125, I stated on Twitter that it would qualify as a minor miracle if either team cracked 90 points. I was basing that prediction on the last meeting between these teams, an 83-82 barn burner in Chicago, and on the absence of […]

Bulls Finally Fall in ’14
Well kids, that’s why you shouldn’t believe in momentum. As noted in the game preview, Washington was just 2-5 since New Year’s, with their wins coming over two teams in a heap of trouble at the moment, while Chicago was the only team still unbeaten in 2014. Those things were irrelevant in tonight’s 102-88 loss […]
Bulls vs Wizards Preview

The defense-centric Bulls (second in defensive rating, second to last in offensive rating) […]
