LaVine, Payne (!?!?) lead Bulls to first win of season
LaVine’s 32 points, Payne’s seven (!!!) triples give Bulls a win, but Bobby Portis joins the list of the walking wounded With the Bulls off to an 0-3 start and Kris Dunn on the shelf for at least a month, things weren’t looking up as the Hornets came to town. Naturally, the Bulls pulled out their first win of the season thanks to a whole lot of Zach LaVine and the game of a lifetime for Dunn’s replacement, Cameron Payne.

Jay joins CLTV’s Sports Feed to talk the Bulls’ 0-2 start
Talking Fred Hoiberg’s late lineup decision, the defense, Zach LaVine and more The Bulls have started the season 0-2 after a tough loss to the Pistons on Saturday night. While the Bulls were non-competitive after the first quarter against the 76ers, the Pistons game was mostly tight throughout and came down to the final possession. Fred Hoiberg made the curious choice to go with a frontcourt of Bobby Portis and Jabari Parker down the stretch against the Pistons, opting to leave Wendell Carter Jr. on the bench.

Bulls vs. Pistons game preview, lineups, start time: Opening at Home
The Bulls look to bounce back against Detroit at the United Center Thursday’s season opener showed us signs of things to come for this Chicago Bulls team. On one hand, Bobby Portis and Zach LaVine had outstanding offensive performances, resulting in a 41 point first quarter. But on the contrary, their defense looked like how we thought they would on their way to a 127-208 loss. Without Kris Dunn, the Bulls were shorthanded on defense and it showed. And unfortunately Dunn is out again tonight (with Cameron Payne remaining the starter), but at least the opponent is a bit less scary in the...
