The Chicago Bulls went from looking like a contender for the Eastern Conference’s top seed to looking like a Play-In Tournament team in two games.

Following the Bulls’ collapse against Milwaukee in the fourth quarter on Friday night, Chicago had a similar trajectory take place against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Saturday night.
Giannis scored 41 points and took over the fourth quarter on Friday night. Donovan Mitchell was the hero for the Cavs, scoring 29 points while adding six rebounds and six assists in Cleveland’s 128-122 comeback win in front of 19,432 fans at Rocket Arena.
The Bulls are now 6-3 and a troubling 1-3 on the road.

More News: Chicago Bulls labeled buyers for trade deadline
Following Chicago’s loss on Saturday night, Joe Cowley of the Chicago Sun-Times had a warning for the Bulls, arguing that more results like the last two games are set to come for the team until they can add star power to the roster to help close out games.
“Sure, they have looked great against younger players on the rise like a Cade Cunningham with Detroit and Orlando’s Paolo Banchero, but the NBA’s truly elite?” Cowley wrote. “The Bulls may have depth and a very good team, but they don’t have the star power some franchise’s can flex, and it’s showing up late in games.
“Milwaukee’s Giannis Antetokounmpo and Cleveland’s Donovan Mitchell were reminders of that.”
Even Josh Giddey noted that the Bulls need to find ways to end games against star players.
The Bulls are set to host another star, Victor Wembanyama, on Monday night when they host the San Antonio Spurs.
Maybe these games will show the front office they need to be aggressive in adding a star at the trade deadline.
