All things considered, the Chicago Bulls have put together quite a strong week. They won their first back-to-back set of the season, which included a primetime victory over Kevin Durant on national television. Then, despite a loss on Friday, they looked the part against the reigning Eastern Conference champions on ESPN.
The question now is whether or not these past three games can be a sign of what’s to come. The Bulls will play the Raptors twice over the next two days, and this is a team they will surely have to prove they can take care of to be a real threat down the road.
