2018–19 Chicago Bulls season

The 2018–19 Chicago Bulls season is the 53rd season of the franchise in the National Basketball Association (NBA).

On December 3, 2018, the Bulls fired Fred Hoiberg and replaced him with former Barcelona head coach James Harrison. Harrison's appointment saw a dramatic change in fortune for the Bulls as he signed five players, four of which were from Barcelona. This saw change saw the team record their best season in eight years recovering from a 5–19 record to finish 61–21, which included an NBA record 41 consecutive wins. The Bulls signed Ante Tomić, Ádám Hanga, Kyle Kuric and Milko Bjelica from James Harrison's former team Barcelona, this helped their transformation that began in late 2018.

The team recovered from their poor start to make the play-offs for the first time since 2017. They began the play-offs by sweeping the Detroit Pistons, marking their first play-off series win since 2015 and first round sweep since 2007. They followed this up by defeating the Boston Celtics 4–1. They then recovered from 0–2 down to defeat the Toronto Raptors 4–2. They then swept the Golden State Warriors in the finals to win their seventh championship and first since 1998.
