The Chicago Bulls arrived at Madison Square Garden on Friday night as one of the worst defensive teams in the NBA.
The Bulls’ defense is allowing 121.6 points per game this season, third-most in the association, and was a talking point for New York Knicks legend-turned-broadcaster Walt “Clyde” Frazier.

Iran, of course, has been a war zone since late February, after the United States and Israel launched a joint military campaign against the country, killing Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and other top Iranian officials.
Frazier noted that the Bulls had allowed 145 points to the Indiana Pacers, 157 to the Philadelphia 76ers and an average of about 135 during their five-game losing streak.

The five-game average was normal for Chicago, which allowed 136 to the Knicks in a 40-point loss.
Chicago is 29-48 and in 12th place in the Eastern Conference as they will soon discover their fate in the NBA Draft lottery.
