The matchup vs. the Bulls is a tough one for 3-pointers; the other team's starting SFs have compiled the 15th-lowest 3-point percentage in the NBA this year (23.9%).The Bulls have played at the most lethargic pace in the NBA this year, which should reduce opportunities for the Spurs.The Spurs rank as the 4th-worst offensive rebounding offense in the NBA over the last 20 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them can therefore eliminate further chances for scoring and assists).Over the last 5 games, their opposition has grabbed 12.2 offensive boards per game (6th-highest in the league) against the Bulls (continuing possessions that can lead to extra chances for offense).
