After Chicago’s marathon against Atlanta to start the month, they have seemed to lost a bit of steam with only one win in their last five games. In their two losses to the Detroit Pistons in last weekend’s home-and-home, they looked to wear down in the second half each time. In these two games, the Pistons outscored the Bulls 133-91 in the second half.
On Friday, the Bulls at one time owned a 21 point lead only to lose by 8, giving up an astounding 43 points in the fourth quarter. Then Sunday - with Zach LaVine resting - it was a huge third quarter which turned the tide against the Bulls, where Detroit scored 42 in a game where the halftime deficit was only 6.
