The Spurs pulled off an improbably 23-point comeback, knocking off the Chicago Bulls by a score of 106-99. While a pedestrian offense put them behind early, San Antonio’s suffocating second-half defense pushed them past the finish line.
Jakob Poeltl paced the Silver and Black with a career-high 20 points and 16 rebounds on 9-of-11 shooting. Zach Lavine led the Bulls with 29 points, six rebounds, and six assists, though his standout performance wasn’t enough to give Chicago the edge.
Observations
- Fans continued to get a glimpse of life without DeMar DeRozan, and the Spurs have been wildly inconsistent without their best player.
