Bulls continue dying from three-point range, as Rockets win a laugher
It’s the kind of numbers that have a lot of people excited when talking Bulls 2019-20.
There Jim Boylen’s boys were entering Saturday – 10th in the league in three-point attempts with 35.1 per game.
A far cry from last season, when the Bulls were considered prehistoric, sitting at 27th in the Association, averaging just 25.9 attempts per game.
Not now.
Now they’re playing “modern basketball,’’ launching threes at a franchise-record pace. Attack the rim or shoot the three, and mid-range be damned.
The Bulls analytics department loves it, the basement bloggers love it, and stats nerds everywhere are rejoicing.
One problem.
At last check the actual object of the basketball game is to win it.
