The Bulls record when Lonzo plays

So, what was the Bulls’ record with Lonzo Ball? Chicago is 22-13 when Lonzo Ball plays. The way Lonzo lifts his teammates is evident by their record. The Chicago Bulls won 63% of their games when Lonzo Ball played compared to 50% when he was out in the 2021-22 season.
