Chicago Bulls: 3 keys to sustaining early-season success

Remain one of the top defensive teams

While putting the ball in the basket hasn’t been a problem for Chicago, one of their biggest keys to their early success has been defense. The team has hung their hat on that end of the floor and continues to remain effective on that end.

Many can credit the signings of Lonzo Ball and Alex Caruso for providing a spark on that end of the floor.

So far, the Bulls have made things difficult for the opposing team on that end of the floor. They are ranked third in defense and continue to thrive as one of the top teams. If Billy Donovan can keep the team grounded on that end of the floor, it’ll allow the Bulls to have the advantage against top contenders.
