CHICAGO (AP) — The Chicago Bulls have been a one of the surprise teams in the NBA this season despite a recent rut. The Bulls own the best record in the Eastern Conference with DeMar DeRozan and Zach LaVine leading the way. They’re establishing themselves as a serious threat for the first time since Derrick Rose elicited “MVP! MVP!” chants from his thrilled hometown fans. DeRozan is now hearing those same chants.

Chicago is looking to break a three-game losing streak Monday when it visits the surprising Memphis Grizzlies.
