5. Shooting Efficiency

Over the course of the last nine games, the Bulls have been shooting the ball at a respectable percentage. In fact, during that stretch, the Bulls have converted at least 45 percent of their shot attempts in six of those nine games, per Basketball-Reference.com.

As a result of the recent improvements we’ve seen on offense, the Bulls have scored at least 100 points in nine straight games. Along with that, in their wins over the Toronto Raptors and the Milwaukee Bucks, the Bulls posted back-to-back games in which they scored 115 points. To put this stat in its proper perspective, this is the first time that has happened since February of 2010, per the Chicago Tribune’s K.C. Johnson.

As long as the team continues to shoot well, there is no telling how far this team can go in the postseason. But to be on the safe side, let’s table such talk for the time being because a lot of things can happen between now and then.
