While it is still clear that first-year head coach Billy Donovan has turned the Chicago Bulls around to a decent degree already, their loss at home at the United Center in an embarrassing second half collapse exposed some old wounds that are still lingering around at times. The Bulls fell short to legendary head coach Gregg Popovich and the San Antonio Spurs at home on the night of March 17, where they held an enormous first half lead at multiple points of the game.
On a night that proved just how far the Bulls look like they still have to go at times, they just weren’t able to avoid a massive second half collapse against the Spurs.
