Although they fell short by a 10-point margin in the preseason opener against the Milwaukee Bucks, the Chicago Bulls actually had a pretty good showing on Oct. 7. At home at the United Center last night, the Bulls tried to establish momentum to tip off this five-game preseason slate.
Outside of a handful of injured bigs, the Bulls mostly started the game with a talented lineup. Forward/center Cristiano Felicio did get the start at the five due to injuries that held out second-year center Wendell Carter Jr. (ankle sprain and tailbone contusion) and newly signed center Luke Kornet (turf toe).
