Bulls send Spurs to first road loss of season

Chicago (AFP) - The San Antonio Spurs suffered their first road loss of the season, as the Chicago Bulls led wire-to-wire en route to a 95-91 victory that snapped a three-game skid.

The Spurs needed just one more road win to tie the NBA record of 14 straight road victories to start a season, set by the Golden State Warriors last season.

But they failed to fire against a struggling team and coach Gregg Popovich was livid that they couldn't deliver in front of a crowd of 21,400 at United Center arena.
