This Chicago Bulls team is finally starting to move in the right direction as we move down the stretch this season. First-year head coach Billy Donovan did not look to have this team trending up when they sat on a five-game losing streak last week. But two straight wins for the Bulls since the weekend helped them gain better footing in the race to at least get in the top 10 in the Eastern Conference standings for a spot in the play-in tournament.
Donovan and the Bulls put their best foot forward in their last two wins, which came over the Cleveland Cavaliers back on April 17 and the Boston Celtics on April 19. It was the win over the Celtics on the road at the TD Garden early this week, though, that really showed what this Bulls team can do if they can right the ship permanently down the stretch.
Next up for Donovan and the Bulls is yet another meeting with the divisional foe Cavaliers on the road on the night of April 21. The Bulls will carry a record of 24-33 into that meeting with the Cavs for the second time in four days.
How the Chicago Bulls can still improve from here?
The real challenge for the Bulls will now begin as they look to round out a difficult schedule through the month of April. After their meeting with the Cavs on April 21, the Bulls have only playoff teams remaining on the slate for the month of April.
Figuring out the rotation will be the main task at hand down the stretch as he tries to keep the Bulls moving in the right direction. With that in mind, here’s a look at five potential players that the Bulls could sign a 10-day contract to round out the rotation.
