For the first three preseason games, Chicago Bulls head coach Fred Hoiberg started Kris Dunn, Zach LaVine, Justin Holiday, Jabari Parker, and Robin Lopez.
Heading into the Bulls fourth preseason game against the Pacers, Hoiberg decided that he wanted to change things up. Hoiberg started Wendell Carter Jr. for Robin Lopez, and also started Bobby Portis for Jabari Parker. Starting Portis and Wendell really benefited the rest of the starters.
The Bulls came out with a lot of energy and played really fast. They looked like a different team after those lineup changes, and it really showed throughout the first half.
