On the night of March 11, the Chicago Bulls and first-year head coach Billy Donovan returned to the home court at the United Center to take on the team with the best record in the Eastern Conference. Donovan and the Bulls did have a bit of momentum heading into the All-Star Break, as they won their last game.
That aforementioned last game for the Bulls that resulted in a win came with a four-point triumph over the New Orleans Pelicans and star forward Zion Williamson back on March 3.
