There’s no denying the Bulls have been more competitive this month. After reconvening for a Thursday evening practice following two off-days for Christmas, they’ll take a 6-6 December record into Saturday’s home game against the Hawks.
Just think what they might be able to accomplish if their offense ever matches their defense.
The Warriors’ victory over the Rockets on Christmas Day nudged them ahead of the Bulls in offensive rating, placing the Bulls last with 103.5 points per 100 possessions.
The Bulls are ninth overall defensively, allowing 105 points per 100 possessions, and second only to the Bucks in December.
