In the midst of football season, the Bulls abruptly got my basketball attention.
In back-to-back losses to the Cavaliers and Rockets on Friday and Sunday, the Bulls gave up 144 and 143 points. That’s 287 points in two games. That’s a big ‘‘wow.’’
Me, I remember when the Michael Jordan-led Bulls were giving up 88 and 86 points in Games 2 and 3 — and 75 in the clinching Game 6 — to the SuperSonics in the 1996 NBA Finals.
