Luol Deng believes that better defense will help cure Chicago's offensive woes.
The Bulls are scoring just 90.4 points per game on 43.2% shooting. Both figures rank in the bottom fifth of the league.
"Whenever we don't play together it feeds into both ends," Deng said. "We don't share the ball. We don't help each other out on defense. Whenever our energy is up and we help each other on defense, we move the ball, get stops and we run. If we don't do that, it affects everybody's game. Until we commit defensively, I don't think our offense will come around."
Teammate John Salmons agrees with Deng.
"We have to take a look at our defense. We're going to have nights where we don't score. But we have to commit on defense. That's where we have to improve," the guard added.
