Things were looking grim for the Bulls, but after a four game winning streak, including last night’s 99-92 win over the struggling Sixers, the eighth spot in the Eastern Conference playoffs is Chicago’s to lose. The Bulls made the playoffs last year, so the team’s play has been pretty disappointing for most of the season. Chicago is loaded with young talent and their recent resurgence has been led by Ben Gordon, Andres Nocioni, Luol Deng and Kirk Hinrich.
Four of the team’s seven remaining games are at home, including Saturday’s critical rematch against the Sixers. While games against New Jersey, Miami and Washington remain, the Bulls also face Atlanta, Orlando and Toronto over the last thirteen days of the season.
