The Chicago Bulls are surprisingly ranked 10th on the defensive end to start the season. With the rough start to the season, losing games they should have won and blowing massive leads, the good defense has flown under the radar.
Yes this team overall have been pretty bad. But being competent defensively is a massive step forward. Ranking 25th and 27th the last two years, it was expected that the defense would be terrible and the offense strong.
Even more surprising is the fact that the Bulls have ranked second over the last two weeks up prior to the matchup with the Thunder.
