After a very slow start to the season, the Bulls have really picked up their play of late. What's gotten into them, and what can we expect in Chicago going forward?
Heading into the 2017-18 season, the Chicago Bulls' nine straight seasons of 40-plus wins was expected to come to an end. -- the lowest total in the NBA and four fewer wins than the next-closest team (the Brooklyn Nets).
Through 22 games, the Bulls were right on track to meet those expectations. They started 3-19 and were on pace for just over 11 wins.
