The Chicago Bulls have been playing some of the best basketball of their disappointing season ever since trading for Otto Porter Jr. Their floor spacing has been incredible (in relativity to how it was before), individuals have stepped up and it finally looks like the team is playing with a sense of urgency.
Tonight, the Memphis Grizzlies, a team in search of an identity, will come to the United Center to take on the (lightly) surging Bulls. This will be the first matchup between the Bulls and Grizz post-Justin Holiday trade.
The Holiday trade wasn’t nearly as emotional for any individuals as the Bobby Portis trade was, so don’t expect the same type of fireworks when Holiday returns to the United Center as a visitor.
