This 8-3 squad, on the other hand, continues to trust one another and search for the best possible shot. One month ago, the Bulls would let the Spurs hang around in this game and resort to an isolation-heavy attack due to an ugly shooting display. They also went 5-6 from downtown after shooting just 2-22 before that. Chicago shot a staggering 16-20 from the floor in the fourth quarter and dished an assist on more than half of those buckets.This time, it was the Bulls who weren’t messing around. It was the kind of finish we’ve seen superior teams have against the Chicago Bulls time and again.
outscore Gregg Popovich’s team 37-25 in the final frame. After keeping the Spurs at arm’s length for the second and third quarters, we watched Coby White and Co. While it may not have been the best shooting night on the backend of a back-to-back, they stuck with it and made sure to pull away when it mattered most. Last night’s 19-point victory, however, was a sign of maturity. Instead, they’ve been the kind of workers who either miss deadlines or procrastinate until there are 5 minutes left on the clock. Taking care of business has never been this team’s forte.
