Although the Chicago Bulls haven’t been a perennial playoff contender in recent years, they have had their share of memorable postseason victories. Here’s a look back their biggest blowout victories.

The Chicago Bulls haven’t given their fans a lot to cheer for over the past few seasons. In fact, they haven’t won more than 42 games in a season since the end of the 2014-15 campaign.

Furthermore, coming into the 2019-20 campaign, the Bulls had missed the playoffs in three of the last four seasons. Moreover, Chicago ranks near the bottom of the league in offense and with a 22-43 record, they are on pace to miss the postseason once again regardless of whether or not the season resumes at some point.

As bad as things have been for this franchise as of late, it wasn’t always this way. No one will forget the teams that went on to win six championships in the 1990s in an eight-year stretch. And after a dismal six-year period following those title runs — a stretch in which they won no more than 30 games — the Bulls advanced to the playoffs 10 times in 11 years from 2004-05 to 2014-15.

This weekend, a documentary detailing the team’s last title run (The Last Dance) will air the first two episodes of a 10-part series on ESPN. With that in mind, I think it would be appropriate to look back at some of the Bulls’ most dominating postseason performances in franchise history.

Let’s take a timely look back through Bulls’ history at the greatest showings.
