Like they did on Saturday, the Bulls dug themselves a huge hole, only to climb out of it in the second half. This time, however, they didn’t fall short.

A full all-hands-on-deck staff meeting to discuss the immediate future of the organization with the trade deadline bearing down on them come Thursday?

No, of course not.

“But certainly there were discussions,” Bulls coach Billy Donovan said of his Tuesday afternoon at the Advocate Center.

Let’s call that progress.

While the 129-123 comeback overtime win against the visiting Timberwolves was the nightcap for Donovan’s day, what went on earlier was likely more important for the organization’s future, as the Bulls front office began pushing down on the pedal with trade talks heating up league wide.
