The Chicago Bulls have once again proven that they do not shy away from playing on national TV, particularly on TNT.
With their win in Game 2 of their first round series against the Boston Celtics, the team extended their winning streak to 21 games without a single defeat on games broadcasted by the network.

The Bulls also became the first eighth seeded team in NBA history to take a 2-0 lead in an playoff series.

That said, fans now fondly call them the TNT-Bulls, because of their dominance in nationally-televised games, as they last lost on TNT back in the 2015 playoffs.
The Twitterverse took notice of the Bulls' feat and made their thoughts known about them.
the TNT bulls are legendary

Dear @NBA, please make sure the rest of the #Bulls playoff games are on #TNT.
Thanks in advance.

If their streak is any indication of what's in store for the Bulls, it is worth noting that the network's schedule will only feature one more game in their series, which will be Game 4 on Sunday. The Chicago faithful will need to hope that their team will be able to win a match not shown on national TV, in order to become just the fourth eighth seeded team in NBA history to upset the team with the best record in their conference.
