The Bulls scored 122 points Friday night against the San Antonio Spurs, but lost by nine points.
Then, he went off for 32 points on 13-for-22 shooting – his 13th 3-point game of the season – and eight assists.LaVine also got on the board for 30 points, but is now quietly 6-for-25 from 3-point range since returning from his five-game, knee-soreness-induced absence.White entered play 3-for-27 from 3 in his last four games – a drought that dropped his season-long percentage from a career-high 39.7 to a career-low 34.8.
In addition to returning from shoulder surgery rehab, and a bout with COVID-19, White’s role has shuffled more than any player on the Bulls’ roster this season. With Ayo Dosunmu starting at point in Ball’s absence, White now appears firmly established as a sixth-man sparkplug.18 points came inside the paint – and on 6-for-6 shooting, at that. He’s lately looked more comfortable on the interior when the Bulls find him despite continuing to struggle from 3-point range.
“It’s not Vooch’s fault. Vooch is doing what the coaches, what we’re asking him to do,” LaVine said. “We have to help support him. Everybody has to give more effort, but it’s not one guy’s fault.”The Spurs’ size, at times, also gave the Bulls trouble. Their front-line of Poeltl and Drew Eubanks combined for 10 offensive rebounds, and as a team, they scored 10 second-chance points. That was only two more than the Bulls, but the Spurs’ seven extra field-goal attempts undoubtedly helped.
