The Bulls gained the reputation of hemorrhaging offensive boards despite being a top-five defensive rebounding team.And the shadow of a sub-500 record dimmed any shine of the Bulls defensive rating, which is fifth-best this season and the best in the NBAsince the All-Star break.“When things go wrong as far as wins and losses, people tend to look at offensive rating and the lack of 3s,̶...
