The Bulls are 1-2 in the three games Alex Caruso has played since returning from his wrist injury, and the defense remains an issue.

So is the Bulls’ point-of-attack defense. Coach Billy Donovan cited the Bulls’ difficulty in limiting dribble penetration from elite offensive players like Donovan Mitchell, Jordan Clarkson and Mike Conley Jr. That led to trapping and, ultimately, poor rotations and too much fouling.“We’re just not winning enough possessions,” Caruso said. “I really don’t think it was an effort thing. Some games, like the Sacramento game first half, it was kind of an effort thing.

After holding the Cavaliers under 100 points in Caruso’s first game back, the Bulls have allowed 112 points to the Kings and 125 to the Jazz, who shot 50.6 percent.
