Bulls coach tests new lineup for Eastern Conference improvement

Bulls coach Billy Donovan is experimenting with his lineup as the team seeks improvement in the Eastern Conference. He recently paired big men Zach Collins and Jalen Smith, along with Nikola Vucevic, to enhance physicality and rebounding. The new lineup had mixed results in a recent game against the Rockets. Smith struggled with his shooting, finishing 2-of-7 overall and 0-of-5 from three-point range. Despite this, Donovan noted a positive increase in the team's physical play since the All-Star break. Donovan plans to continue evaluating the effectiveness of the twin towers strategy. Collins expressed enthusiasm about playing alongside Vucevic, highlighting the potential benefits of their combined skills on the court.
