The Bulls dropped to 12th place in the Eastern Conference following yet another late-game loss, this one to the Pacers, who won the season series 3-1 on Tyrese Haliburton’s heroics.
After going 25-16 last season, which tied for the third-most such victories in the league, the Bulls are now 11-22 in clutch games this season. That’s tied for the third-fewest such victories with the Detroit Pistons, ahead of only bottom-feeders in the Houston Rockets and San Antonio Spurs.
That may make the Pacers’ 13 offensive rebounds and 20-8 edge in second-chance points and 24 points scored off the Bulls’ 15 turnovers even worse. Those are bigger reasons the Bulls lost than Haliburton’s heroics.It’s not often you see a team shoot 60.8 percent and lose. That’s what happened to the Bulls, thanks to the aforementioned second-chance points and points off turnovers but also a math problem that has plagued them all season.
The Bulls actually shot a good percentage from 3-point range, knocking down 10, including five from LaVine. But they still finished minus-18 from beyond the arc, a trend that has happened all season for the league’s lowest-volume 3-point shooting team both in terms of attempts and makes. The organization’s publicly stated goal is to make the playoffs, so don’t expect the Bulls to pivot and try to maximize their draft lottery odds. But the Bulls’ current 8.3 percent odds to win the No. 1 pick in the draft lottery, according to Tankathon.com, are greater than their current 5 percent odds to make the playoffs, according to FiveThirtyEight.com.
