The Chicago Bulls are striving hard to earn their spot in the top 8. They are currently running with a 16-18 record after their victory over the New Orleans Pelicans today. The teams in the Eastern Conference are competing neck to neck for the playoff spot. There isn’t much difference between the 10th team and the 4th team as of now. While Chicago Bulls are determined to get their wins, Zach LaVine has accomplished a remarkable achievement, which made him surpass Bradley Beal and Kevin Durant.

The Bulls faced Pelicans in a tough contest today. Despite Zion Williamson’s elite form, the Bulls were able to contain the young beast with 28 points. However, he struggled to score under the ring which is his strength. Bulls’ guard Zach LaVine added 36 points and assists by the end of final buzzer. Coby White had 25 and youngster Thaddeus Young added another 18 points to finish the score 128-124. A much needed win and few records is what the team was waiting for.
