So far, the west coast road trip has been kind to the Chicago Bulls. They beat Portland on the road on Tuesday and played competitive games against both the Sacramento Kings and Los Angeles Lakers. Chicago now stands at 4-6, good enough for 12th in the Eastern Conference. They are a game behind the 8th placed Charlotte Hornets for the final playoff spot.
Although they have lost two games in a row, there still is a lot to like about the way the Bulls are playing. They are holding their own against playoff teams and had great chances to snatch wins in each of these games.
