There have been moments throughout this preseason and training camp.
Maybe not enough for Bulls coach Billy Donovan, but what his players have on their side is time. There’s time to continue embracing the idea of defensive physicality, there’s time for more focus on rim protection – evident by the nine blocked shots in Tuesday’s loss to Denver.
With just one preseason game left, however, Donovan wants more than moments. He wants consistency on the defensive end of the floor.
And whenever a reminder of why that is so important for this group is asked about, just rewind to the last meaningful game the Bulls played.
