There is progress being made on the defensive end.
Not that it’s easy to see in the three games since Bulls executive vice president of basketball operations Arturas Karnisovas launched the trade deadline reload, acquiring five new faces including All-Star center Nikola Vucevic.
But veteran forward Thad Young swears it’s there.
“I think we are getting closer,’’ Young said after the loss to the Suns on Wednesday. “Obviously the games are a little closer than the last couple of games with….how we played [against Phoenix], but defensively we just got to get better. Biggest thing is just getting the guys acclimated to how we play defensively.
