The Chicago Bulls suffered a humiliating thirteen-point loss to the New Orleans Pelicans, dropping their season record to nine wins and eight losses. The Bulls interior defense was exposed, allowing seventy-eight points in the paint without starting center Nikola Vucevic. The team also struggled with rebounding, giving up nineteen offensive rebounds and thirty second-chance points. Head coach Billy Donovan has been emphasizing the need for more physicality, but the team seems to be struggling to implement this concept. The Bulls are now giving up the most points in the paint per game in the league, and unless they improve their interior defense and physicality, they will likely continue to struggle this season.
