Down a big bad ‘wolf,’ the Bulls defense is really going to get tested

Kris Dunn’s defense has been elite this season.

The Bulls guard, however, gave a lot of that credit to his “wolf.’’

The woods just got safer for opposing offenses this week.

With the Bulls announcing on Thursday that Wendell Carter Jr.’s sprained right ankle will now sideline him four-to-six weeks, that solid defensive efficiency the Bulls had been sporting the last few months? That’s about to likely get worse.

“I try and break-up their rhythm a little bit, and then try and send them to the wolves, try and get them to cause turnovers, try and bring them to Wendell [Carter] and let Wendell get a couple blocks on them,’’ Dunn said earlier this week when discussing his mentality on the defensive end of the ball.
