Whenever the Chicago Bulls play on national television — which, thanks to the NBA and a big market, that happens often — things get a little weird usually.
Even with Tom Thibodeau’s departure, the Bulls are almost a sure lock to win on national television and fool everyone into thinking that this franchise is a NBA Finals contender by beating a relevant name. Every time.
But, Saturday was a feel-good win for the Bulls.
Not only did the win end a four-game slide, the Bulls got Nikola Mirotic and Jimmy Butler back into the rotation.
