Two veteran-laden Midwest rosters with major chemistry issues and not a ton of future draft picks will collide tonight when the spiraling 11-17 Chicago Bulls take on the 14-15 Minnesota Timberwolves.
The Bulls, losers of three straight, seem to have reached the nadir of their season so far after dropping its two previous games to the streaking New York Knicks at home, the second a listless blowout Friday. Chicago has gone just 3-7 across its last ten bouts. Chicago’s “Big Three” of All-Star small forward DeMar DeRozan and former All-Stars Zach LaVine and Nikola Vucevic, all of whom make their money on the offensive side of the floor, have yet to find a rhythm together this season.
