The month of January is coming to an end and it is a good time to remember one of the episodes that are part of the history of what is considered one of the best teams of all time: the Chicago Bulls. Precisely on January 30, but in 1996, the Bulls managed to enter history by closing the month with a perfect record of 14 games without defeat.
Unbeatable bulls
In that campaign, the Bulls were headed for the best season in team history and began the route to their second three-time championship. In that month of January 1996, Chicago made history because for the tenth time a perfect month was recorded in the history of the NBA with at least 12 games, the Bulls had 14 wins that sealed with a win against the Houston Rockets whom they defeated 98-87 to close is the first month of 1996.
In that game against Houston, Scottie Pippen led the offense with 28 points, in addition to 12 rebounds, although he also had 12 turnovers. Michael Jordan did not have one of his best nights, he barely scored 22 points, but he was erratic in shots with only 7 of 26 attempts and only 1 of 6 in triples. Dennis Rodman had 10 rebounds, while Kerr and Kukoc each had 16 and 17 points.
