Chicago Bulls: 5 most intriguing games from 2018-19 NBA season
1. Oct. 29, 2018: Bulls host defending champs
Whether Bulls fans like it or not, the Golden State Warriors have become the NBA’s modern-day dynasty. With a four-game sweep of the Cavaliers in this year’s Finals, the Dubs repeated as back-to-back champions and have now won three titles in the last four years.
Additionally, the Warriors have at least three future Hall-of-Famers on the roster as well as a pair of former MVPs in Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant. The last time these two ball clubs faced off at the United Center, the Warriors came away with a 119-112 victory.
To make matters worse, second-year point guard Kris Dunn sustained a concussion that forced him to miss 11 consecutive games. The Bulls managed to win just three games during that stretch.
Despite the fact this matchup is taking place very early in the season, the new-look Bulls are hoping to hold their own against the defending champs, even if a victory proves to be a momentary speed bump on the Warriors’ march towards another championship.
For that reason, a matchup with the Dubs takes the No. 1 spot on the list.
