    Billy Donovan was talking about the Miami Heat. It could have easily been mistaken as a discussion on a single-minded predator. “The one thing I respect from afar, people can look at where organizations are at a particular time, but with them it’s only about one thing, winning,” the Bulls coach said about the Heat. “It doesn’t make a difference what their roster is, it’s all about winning. That’s always the focus.

    These aren’t your dad’s Bulls. And they’re definitely no longer DeMar DeRozan’s or Zach LaVine’s, and that might be a good thing.

    PHILADELPHIA – The faces have changed, the playing style underwent a complete transformation, and coach Billy Donovan has gotten a bit grayer, but there the Bulls sat after Sunday’s 122-102 season-finale win over Philadelphia with the exact same 39-43 record as last year, still spinning the tires sunk in mediocrity.

    It’s been more of a haunting than a rivalry. Few teams have crushed the dreams of the Bulls organization in the last 15 years or so more than the Miami Heat.

That’s why Billy Donovan is taking nothing for granted.

Bulls are housing the Wizards on the surface ... best-case scenario is Bulls get to go to Cleveland and sent home for the summer. Meanwhile, Wizards, Utah and Charlotte will have the best odds for Cooper Flagg. So who really won and lost tonight?
