The Chicago Bulls have been on a hot start this season. Making quite a few changes on the roster, the front office managed to surround Zach LaVine with stars like DeMar DeRozan and Lonzo Ball. And clearly, this team has been producing wins.
On Monday night, the Bulls grabbed their 6th win of the 7 games they’ve played so far. Playing against the Celtics, in a game that witnessed 8 led changes and 5 ties, it was the Bulls who managed to grab an improbable come-from-the-back win. Trailing by as much as 19 points in the second half, Chicago outscored Jayson Tatum and co. 39-11 to win the contest 128-114.

Zach LaVine too took out some time to laud his teammate’s season-high performance.
DEBO!!!

With his 2nd straight 30+ point night, DeRozan now averages 25.6 points, 5.7 rebounds and 4 assists on 49.4% shooting in this young season.
The Bulls, with their 6-1 record, sit on top of the Eastern Conference. The team will now travel to Philly before they fly back to Chicago and play 3 games at home. While teams haven’t been considering Billy Donovan’sboys a legit title-contender, this squad really has the firepower to upset some powerhouses.
