For a Bulls team that is badly in need of a few hard weeks of practice time, there hasn’t been a lot of relief in sight.

Thanks, NBA schedule.

That’s why Bulls coach Billy Donovan was looking forward to the calendar flipping over to December. As of now, there are just 10 games scheduled for that month, with two in-season tournament games the likely scenario to be added on the week of Dec. 8.

A much different feel than what November offered up, with the Bulls having 16 games, including four back-to-backs.
