Don’t look now but the Chicago Bulls are making some noise in the East.
The Bulls entered the 2017-18 season as betting favorites to finish with the worst record in basketball. And for the first few weeks of the season, that proclamation seemed to be holding true. On December 6, the Bulls were a woeful 3-20. Since then, the Bulls are on parade and have won 15 of their last 23. Now, maybe at 18-28 the hole is still too steep to climb out of for Chicago, but the Bulls have elevated themselves from bottom feeders to appropriately scrappy, and the Pelicans had best give them their full and undivided attention.
