. Previous: 23rd. Chicago Bulls. 23. team. 24.

The Bulls straight up stole a win on Monday against the Magic, 105-101. Zach LaVine made a perfect read on a Jonathan Simmons inbounds pass, stealing the ball and slamming home an uncontested dunk to break a 101-all tie with a few seconds remaining. The former Timberwolves guard scored 18 points in the game, and seems to be showing positive signs as he continues to recover from ACL surgery. Kris Dunn returned to the lineup on Wednesday, and had eight points in twenty minutes, but the Bulls were run over by the Raptors in both teams’ final game before the All-Star break, 122-98. “Poor effort,” coach Fred Hoiberg said. “I talked to the guys, win or lose you got to walk in the locker room after the game and look each other in the eye and say you were the harder playing team. We were not tonight.”
