Bulls Dominate Aside Setbacks

The Chicago Bulls have faced some challenges this season but that hasn’t stopped their momentum.

Looking at the Team

Whether it be players out with injuries or COVID protocols the Bulls have experienced it all. This season hasn’t been easy on the Bulls with Head Coach Billy Donovan entering the league’s health and safety protocols in December and just coming back and over five players out with injuries.

Those obstacles haven’t stopped the Bulls as they head into their next game with an eight-game win streak. The Bulls previously played the Magic on Monday, Jan. 3, and won with a final score of 102-98.
