The Chicago Bulls will tip off the second half of their regular-season schedule when they host the Washington Wizards on Wednesday night.
Chicago hopes to bounce back from a disappointing first half that featured a 14-27 record in 41 games. The Bulls entered the season with the goal to reach the playoffs, but they have major work to do during the next 41 games to make that a reality.
Bulls head coach Jim Boylen remains optimistic about his young team's chances, however.
"I think some of the pillars of our system have been installed," Boylen recently told reporters.
