Thursday night, the Chicago Bulls defeated San Antonio 114-95, led by Coby White’s 22 points, inflicting the Spurs’ 21st loss in 22 games.

White’s twelve fourth-quarter points assisted the Bulls in opening the door.

DeMar DeRozan concluded with 21 points after defeating the Los Angeles Lakers the night before with 27. Patrick Williams contributed 18 points, and Nikola Vucevic contributed 16. Zach LaVine was hampered with inflammation in his right foot, which prevented the Bulls from winning for the eighth time in 11 games.

Devin Vassell scored 21 points to lead San Antonio. However, coveted rookie Victor Wembanyama finished with a season-low seven points and five rebounds, eight of which came after he established an NBA mark for a teenager with double-doubles. Tuesday night in Milwaukee, the No. 1 overall draft pick appeared for 22 minutes after missing a landslide loss.

Before DeRozan hit a floater in the final seconds of the third to initiate a 15-5 run, the Bulls held a 75-70 advantage.

Patrick Williams and Jevon Carter made consecutive three-pointers to begin the fourth period. With less than nine minutes remaining, White missed a three-point attempt, bringing the deficit to 90-75; the Bulls maintained their lead for the remainder of the game.

LaVine has been shooting without jumping and sprinting forward in a straight line; he will increase his activity level the following week.

When the Chicago Bears observe how he reacts to abrupt stops and cuts and begins jumping, they will have a better understanding of whether he is “projecting in a positive way” or not. As stated by coach Billy Donovan. Donovan stated that LaVine will need to put in some work during practices; however, the team has not yet determined whether he will play for the Windy City Bulls of the G League.

In the interim, seasoned forward Torrey Craig stated that he anticipates recovering from his right foot injury earlier than the minimum of two months that the team has specified. Acute sprain of the plantar fascia has affected him.

“Day by day, it has been feeling better,” he reported. “I’m simply going to continue with my recovery and therapy in order to regain as much strength as possible.”
