It didn't take long for Alex Caruso to endear himself to Chicago Bulls fans.
The United Center crowd showered Caruso with "MVP" chants in his first regular-season home game as a Bull on Friday, and he felt the love again Saturday as Chicago picked up its third straight win.

Caruso heard "MVP" chants during his time with the Los Angeles Lakers, and he appreciates the motivation from fans in his new home.
"It's hard to say I'm used to it, but people kind of sprinkled them in here and there over the years, so like for me, it's just kind of another thing," Caruso told reporters after the Bulls' 97-82 win over the Detroit Pistons. "I wish they'd save them for the real MVPs of the team, like when Zach (LaVine) gets going or DeMar's cooking or something, but I'm never gonna deter that. I'm appreciative."
The fifth-year guard is averaging eight points, 3.3 assists, and three steals per contest through three games this season.
