The Bulls, especially when healthy, has performed better than their record. They’ve lost two games on bad calls (confirmed on the NBA’s L2M report), a third on a highly questionable jump ball, and overall have an awful 2-9 record in close games that should come down to 50/50 situations.
The results should be that random, but a familiar pattern often emerges in these close games down the stretch: Chicago will make a furious run, Zach LaVine will dominate down the stretch, the Bulls will get to a final possession, the whole world knows Zach will get the ball and take the shot, Zach fails to close out the game.
