Bobby Portis drilled a baseline three-pointer at the third-quarter buzzer, turned to Bulls rookie Coby White — who’d closed out on the shooter, to no avail — and gave a long stare.
Was the Knicks forward getting ready to torment his former team again?
Um, no. Other way around.
In a huge, record-setting way.
After Portis’ buzzer beater tied the game 85-85, the Bulls (4-7) went on a giant fourth-quarter run thanks to the deep shooting of White. The 19-year-old guard made seven threes in eight attempts and scored 23 of his career-high 27 points in the final period of a 120-102 victory at the United Center.
