The Bulls needed something, anything, in the aftermath of the embarrassment in Minnesota back on Dec. 18.
Leave it to Goran Dragic to provide the Heat check.
Spending seven seasons in Miami, Dragic learned that tough love not only needs to happen in the locker room behind closed doors, but sometimes needs to be made public.
That’s why the veteran guard had no problem coming out after the Bulls gave up 150 points to the Timberwolves and insisted, “We’re not playing for each other … simple as that.’’
The Bulls have gone 10-6 since then, and Billy Donovan didn’t think it was just a coincidence that there has been an effort to play for each other more consistently over that span.
