How do the Bulls spell winning? N-W-A-B-A.
OK, not that often, we know, as the 5-20 Bulls—with consecutive wins for the first time this season—face the Eastern Conference leading Boston Celtics in the United Center Monday.
True, the Bulls are undefeated with the return this season of Nikola Mirotic, who was five of eight on three pointers in Saturday's victory over the New York Knicks. Mirotic joked—he insists he was serious—the intersection of success and attendance is Mirotic Way. Though Mirotic playing limited minutes in his return after the preseason fight had little impact in his season debut Friday in Charlotte.
