Chicago Bulls (15-16) vs. Phoenix Suns (20-11)
A sign of the times.
The Bulls escape with a hard-fought 133-126 overtime victory against the Minnesota Timberwolves a couple nights ago, and the sentiment is that the game shouldn’t have been that close.
The vibes around this team now are the best they’ve been in forever. The Bulls are 8-7 in their last 15 games, but have won five of their last six contests. The Bulls even made the ‘quadrant of wow!’ on the latest efficiency landscape.
Most importantly, if the season were to end today the Chicago Bulls would have the seventh-best record in the Eastern Conference qualifying them for the playoffs for the first time since the 2016-2017 season.
