The Chicago Bulls have gotten off to a 2-0 start, and it’s surprisingly been their defense that has shined the most. Through their first two games, the Bulls lead the NBA in defensive rating, yet rank 29th in offensive rating. It’s certainly a big surprise because most everyone would have expected the Bulls' offense to hit the ground running and the defense to be a work in progress.
The Bulls have played great defense through a committed team effort. They don’t have a dominant Center to lock down the paint like some other teams do, but they’ve gotten help from every position.
