A poor start to the preseason slate for the Chicago Bulls saw them fall short by a large 21-point margin at home on Dec. 11 to the Houston Rockets.
While we shouldn’t put a whole lot of stock in the result, the Chicago Bulls and newly hired head coach Billy Donovan did not get off to the start they wanted to on Dec. 11 in their preseason opener against the Houston Rockets.
