UPDATE: Bulls had an off day but players, management, staff and employees assisted in feeding those in need at Pacific Garden Mission on Sunday. The Bulls are back at it today on the practice floor and I guarantee you it will be a competitive practice.
DUNN GETTING IT DONE: The second year guard from Providence acquired from Minnesota on draft night is averaging 13 points and shooting 51% the past three games. He has scored in double figures in five of his last six games.
OFF DAY - SEASON OF GIVING: Plenty of Bulls' employees, players, alumni, ambassadors and coaches (Fred Hoiberg and fam) spent Sunday afternoon participated with our annual Season of Giving as 700-800 men, women and children were fed at Pacific Garden Mission. I love broadcasting NBA ball but the ability to give back to the community tops everything.
