Chicago Bulls: Takeaways From Preseason Opener

The Chicago Bulls fell to the Milwaukee Bucks 93-91. Here are the maintain takeaways from their preseason opener.

The Chicago Bulls came into the preseason a far different team from the one fans saw from a year ago. Not only are there new veteran faces in Dwyane Wade and Rajon Rondo, the Bulls also have several players with less than three years of experience.

As was the case a year ago, the Bulls kicked off their preseason with a home game against their Central Division rivals, the Milwaukee Bucks.

In last year’s meeting, the Bulls came away with a 105-95 victory. This time around, though, the outcome was not a favorable one.

In the first half, Chicago looked like a team that was trying to find itself. With a less-than impressive showing in the first 24 minutes, the home team found itself trailing by a 55-42 margin at intermission.
