Regression to the mean is a common occurrence in sports. This proved to be the case, once again, for the Chicago Bulls on Friday night. Like in Boston on Wednesday, the Bulls were competitive. This time it was for a half instead of just a quarter. And they weren’t just competitive, they were dominant.
However, when the offense began to sputter in the third quarter, the wheels fell off. It aided a 78-point second half for the Milwaukee Bucks as they took the game from Chicago in a 123-104 blowout.
After struggling the past couple of games, the Bulls’ offense exploded in the first.
