Kevin Huerter’s Bulls career last season was greeted with a five-game losing streak.
Not that the guard was much at fault considering he had just been acquired in the three-team deadline deal that sent Zach LaVine to Sacramento and Huerter to the Midwest, and there were some growing pains with the new-look rotation as Tre Jones and Zach Collins were also finding their way.
After the Feb. 22 loss to Phoenix, however, Huerter and the Bulls went 17-4 with no back-to-back losses, before Miami slammed the door on their season in a humiliating 19-point rout in the play-in game.
