The Bulls want to become this fluid offensive bunch that flows into sets, gets up and down in a hurry while winning pretty.
But winning pretty isn’t an identity that describes this group right now. If they’re gonna win, it’s gonna be ugly, and sometimes ugly has to be beautiful.
After sleepwalking through most of the night, the Bulls pulled it together to knock off the New Orleans Pelicans at the United Center Saturday, 98-94, with a late fourth-quarter surge that seemed to erase extended stretches of inactivity, and a little disinterest.
The only pretty thing might’ve been the play of Aaron Brooks, who hit a leaning, floating hook shot with 40.
