The Bulls unfortunately messed around and found out, going into San Antonio to take the tanky Spurs and couldn’t pull out a win, heading back to Chicago with a 129-124 loss as the Spurs made enough plays in the final minute to secure their win.
Like other games this season, the Bulls starters (minus Zach LaVine, who sat this one in anticipation for tomorrow’s contest) found themselves in holes and had to have the bench bail them out. San Antonio started the game 5-6 from three and led by as much as 14 in the first half. But the Bulls bench units - again with Andre Drummond and Goran Dragic playing huge roles - got the team to a 9 point lead and lead by 2 at halftime.
