How Jim Boylen’s Bulls defense can allow a 160.9 offensive rating in a half to the Hornets

Congratulations are in order for your Chicago Bulls. Scoring 100 or more points in 15 consecutive games for the first time since 1992 will surely get your juices all jacked up, right?

That, of course, is until you realise the Bulls have been outscored by nine points and have a 2-13 record through this hot shooting stretch.

Ultimately, offensive production means little without defensive stops. Sure, the Bulls may have scored 118 points against the Charlotte Hornets, but the Hornets - on a back-to-back - scoring 74 points and posting a 160.9 offensive rating in the second half is unfathomable, even against the typically-porous Bulls defense.
