Chicago opponents have committed 15-or-more turnovers in each of the first 11 games of the 2019-20 season. The 11 such occurrences this season are the most in the NBA. The last time the Bulls accomplished this in 12 straight games was a 17-game streak from Oct. 11-Nov. 14, 1980, which was also the last time they began a season with such a streak. The last NBA team to open a season with such a streak was Philadelphia in 15 consecutive contests from Nov. 3-Dec.12, 2004 (Elias Sports Bureau). Since 2010-11, Chicago is 13-5 (.722) at Milwaukee. Over that span, no other Eastern Conference team has a greater winning percentage in road games against the Bucks. Oklahoma City’s winning percentage of .778 (7-2) is the only one leaguewide that is better. Chicago has recorded 105 steals this season, the third-most in the league. The 105 takeaways are the most the Bulls have had through the first 11 games of the season since they had 110 in 1994-95. Across the first 11 games of the 2019-20 season, the Bulls are outscoring the opposition, 302-262, in the first quarter. The +40 point differential in the opening frame leads the Eastern Conference and ranks second in the league behind Phoenix (+42). Over the last five seasons, .861 percent of teams that finish the season with a positive +/- in the first quarter have made the postseason.
