After winning the Las Vegas NBA Summer League title last July, the Chicago Bulls will open their title defense in Sin City on July 8 against the Dallas Mavericks.
The schedule for the 2017 NBA Summer League in Vegas was released on Thursday. The Bulls, like every team in Vegas, will play three games before being seeded in a tournament to decide a LVSL champion.
During their run to the title last summer, the Bulls ran the table in their three “qualifying” games and then ran through the Mavericks, the Washington Wizards, the Cleveland Cavaliers and then beat the 24th-seeded Minnesota Timberwolves in overtime of the title game as a No.
