The Chicago Bulls did it again… let another huge lead slip away. 😅 Up 21 in the fourth against a shorthanded Portland Trail Blazers team, Chicago somehow found itself down 122–119 in the final seconds before Coby White and Nikola Vucevic saved the night.

In this episode of Chicago Bulls Central, Haize breaks down how the Bulls nearly fumbled a must-win game, what went wrong on the glass, and why this team still hasn’t learned how to close games the right way.

From there, we zoom out to the big picture. The Bulls just finished their West Coast trip 2–1, sit at 8–6, and now enter a crucial stretch: 7 straight games vs sub-.500 teams (Wizards, Pelicans, Hornets, Pacers twice, Magic, Nets). This is where Chicago has to go at least 5–2 and prove they’re more than a fun, young team that can’t finish.

Then we dive into the big rumor:

🏀 Bennedict Mathurin as the Bulls’ dream trade target.

Why his athletic scoring, size, and upside make him a perfect fit next to Josh Giddey and Coby White, why Indiana might actually move him, and how Artūras Karnišovas can use the Bulls’ upcoming cap space and picks to finally swing a smart, non-desperate trade.

We close with a voicemail from Corn on the Bulls’ late-game issues, being the second-youngest team in the league (outside of Vooch), and why this season can be both fun and frustrating at the same time
