Chicago Bulls
There are a handful of schedule losses.
Whether it’s a back-to-back on the road or three games in four nights, over the course of filling out an 82-game season the NBA deals bad hands to every team.
Monday wasn’t that for the Bulls.
No, that was a flat-out “butt kicking,” as veteran DeMar DeRozan called it. A Dallas team coming into town and reminding the Bulls just what mediocrity looks like when it collides with a focused squad from the Western Conference that is actually trying to make noise beyond the play-in tournament.
