Recent Trends


The Chicago Bulls have shown a mixed bag of performances in their recent outings. Despite a challenging season, their last game against the Pacers highlighted areas of both concern and potential. With a record that reflects more losses than wins (17-20), it's clear that consistency has been an issue. However, their ability to score points in paint and capitalize on turnovers indicates a team with untapped potential.


Their victory over the New York Knicks showcased an impressive offensive rating (131.231117824773) and true shooting percentage (68 percent), underscoring their capability when firing on all cylinders. This performance was characterized by efficient field goal percentages both from beyond the arc (54 percent) and within close range (86 percent at rim). Additionally, their assist-to-turnover ratio stood out at 3.0, suggesting effective ball movement can indeed translate into high-scoring games for them.
