Bulls hand San Antonio Spurs team-record-tying 16th straight loss

COBY White poured in 24 points and hit five of seven attempts from beyond the arc as the visiting Chicago Bulls came back from a 13-point deficit to beat the San Antonio Spurs 121-112 on Friday for their fourth straight win.

Chicago won its second road game of the season while the Spurs dropped their 16th straight game overall, tying a dubious team record set last season.

The Chicago Bulls turned an 11-point third-quarter deficit into a four-point lead heading into the final period and continued to build their lead through the final 11 minutes. San Antonio was within 107-105 after a three-point play by Zach Collins with 5:05 to play, but Chicago scored seven of the game’s next eight points.

Nikola Vucevic added 21 points and 16 rebounds for the Bulls, with Patrick Williams and DeMar DeRozan each scoring 20 points and Torrey Craig finishing with 16.

Victor Wembanyama, 19, led the San Antonio Spurs with 21 points and 20 rebounds, becoming the youngest player in NBA history to have a 20/20 game. — Reuters
