Each NBA Franchise's Best Regular Season Performance Since 2000
Chicago Bulls
Sure, we know about MJ's Bulls, but what about Derrick Rose's? Yeah, those Bulls came in 2012, when Chicago yielded a 76.1 nERD and 50 wins in a 66-game season.
Before suffering injury after injury, Rose pushed the Bulls to first- and second-best defense by measure of opponent points per game and defensive rating. After going down with a season-ending knee injury, the Bulls failed to bounce back in the playoffs. They lost in six games to the Philadelphia 76ers.
