If you’re still reeling from Chicago’s win over the Cavs on TNT, Thursday night, it’s understandable. The Bulls have been playing dead, for the most part, over the last couple of weeks. They had their worst losing streak of the season, lost Dwyane Wade to an injury and then, presto, they got back to winning.
Truth is, Nikola Mirotic is having his annual late-March to early-April push where he knocks down shots at an incredible rate. Combine that with Jimmy Butler, who has been playing particularly well since Wade went down, and you’ve got something.
Oh, and 3-pointers?
