The Chicago Bulls are currently 10th in the Eastern Conference, with the Toronto Raptors two games behind them. In the past, that would seem like a steep climb for either team to get back into the playoff picture, but in today’s NBA, that means the Bulls are in play-in game position and the Raptors still have a chance to catch them. And in this pandemic-centric season, pretty much anything can happen!
But these two teams might have very different goals in mind. The Bulls traded for Nikola Vucevic at the trade deadline, a win-now move for a team desperate to get some postseason experience.
