Bulls vs. Pelicans preview and thread: it’s the home opener

On Wednesday, the Chicago Bulls were able to nab a win against the Detroit Pistons in their regular season opener despite struggling to find any offensive consistency throughout the contest.

Outside of Zach LaVine, who scored 34 points on 11 of 17 shooting, they struggled to get into any rhythm when it came to knocking down shots. Despite having four starters in double figures Chicago shot just 43 percent from the field (50.8% true shooting) and 30.4 percent from three. It was nothing like the offensive barrage we saw in the preseason.
