Talk about surprises. The Bulls fell behind the Spurs by fifteen heading into the third quarter and thirteen to start the fourth. Then, they outscored the visitors 32-15 as Coby White sealed the deal with a dunk on Victor Wembanyama with fifteen seconds left in the game and the Bulls up by one. Did I mention that Wembanyama had eight blocked shots at that point? Bulls 114 Spurs 110. The win pulls Billy Donovan’s club to within two games of .500. The question now is, do the Bulls tank in order to protect a top-ten draft pick that would otherwise go to the Spurs? Personally, I hope not. Zach LaVine is playing as well as he can, yes, offense over defense but at least thinking about the value of defense. And I actually saw Nikola Vucevic moving his feet in an attempt to stay in front of Wembanyama. Truly, end times.
