After a modest week to open 2026, the Chicago Bulls didn't exactly make up for it last week.
They started on Monday in Boston with a miserable offensive performance. Then, they lost to a Pistons team without Cade Cunningham and Jalen Duren. The Bulls got a night off due to court condensation, which helped lead to a wire-to-wire blowout win over the Mavericks.
This week also highlighted the comebacks of Coby White and Jalen Smith.

What worked
After a disastrous first half on the offensive end, the Bulls looked different in the second half.
