The Bulls are just over a month past their team meeting to address Rajon Rondo calling out Dwyane Wade and Jimmy Butler for their criticism of teammates.
They’re also shooting for their first five-game win streak of the season Tuesday night against the Nuggets.
They grabbed a 59-56 halftime lead behind 10 points, four assists and four steals apiece from Dwyane Wade and Rajon Rondo. Cristiano Felicio added nine points, the beneficiary of several nice Rondo passes.
Nikola Jokic’s 10 points led the Nuggets.
The Warriors and Clippers follow the Nuggets during the three-game home stand.
Michael Carter-Williams and Paul Zipser remain out with injuries for the Bulls.
