Chicago Bulls: 3 players that can shut down Stephen Curry

A really big challenge lies on tap on the night of Nov. 12 for second-year head coach Billy Donovan and the Chicago Bulls against head coach Steve Kerr and the Golden State Warriors on the road at the Chase Center. The Bulls, now tied for the best record in the Eastern Conference with the Washington Wizards at 8-3, are set to take on the team with the nets record out of the Western Conference in the Warriors.

There is certainly a lot of momentum riding with the Bulls right now. The Bulls are sitting on a two-game winning streak following two convincing wins over postseason contenders in the Brooklyn Nets and Dallas Mavericks earlier this week.

Who the Chicago Bulls can put on Stephen Curry on defense to limit his offensive production?

The Bulls really looked good in those two wins that came over the Nets and Mavericks by a combined margin of 33 points. Those two teams were considered very relevant title contenders entering this season, and the Bulls beat each of them convincingly.

Now, the Bulls have another daunting challenge on tap as they get set to take on superstar point guard Stephen Curry and the Warriors to start a mini west coast road trip on Nov. 12. Curry and the Warriors currently hold the NBA’s best record at 10-1. But they’re about to head into one of the most challenging portions of their early-season schedule.

A major looming task for the Bulls to deal with the Warriors in this big-time showdown on Nov. 12 is limiting Curry to the best of their ability. Steph is one of the NBA’s brightest superstars, and he’s off to a hot start this season.

Here’s a look at three defensive stoppers for the Bulls they can use to try to shut down Steph and the Warriors in this game.
