The Chicago Bulls have been eliminated by the defending champion Milwaukee Bucks in the first round of the NBA Playoffs.The Bulls might look at their first-round exit as somewhat disappointing given the impre sive regular season they had. The team won 46 games - their highest total since the 2014-15 season - and the team managed to secure their first playoff appearance since the 2016-17 season, despite trying to navigate their way through injury to some key pieces on their team.Led by a brilliant season from DeMar DeRozan, the Bulls still overcame that adversity to qualify for the postseason but they met their match against the defending champs and the reigning Finals MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo.Where do the Bulls go from here?
