White Explodes for Career-High
The Chicago Bulls pulled off a remarkable comeback victory on Monday night, overcoming a 22-point deficit to defeat the Sacramento Kings 113-109. The win snapped a three-game losing streak for the Bulls and kept them in the thick of the playoff race.
White Leads the Charge
The unlikely hero for the Bulls was guard Coby White, who erupted for a career-high 37 points on 14-of-23 shooting, including a perfect 7-of-7 from beyond the arc. White's scoring outburst kept the Bulls in the game throughout, and his clutch three-pointer with 1:04 remaining in the fourth quarter proved to be the game-winner.
DeRozan Delivers
While White stole the show offensively, DeMar DeRozan provided his usual steady presence for the Bulls, finishing with 27 points, 7 rebounds, and 5 assists. Nikola Vucevic also chipped in with a double-double of 18 points and 12 rebounds.
Kings Struggle Down the Stretch
The Kings, who were looking to solidify their own playoff position, built a commanding lead in the first half but faltered down the stretch. Domantas Sabonis had another impressive performance with a triple-double (23 points, 14 rebounds, 10 assists), but De'Aaron Fox, who had 41 points in the Kings' earlier win over the Bulls this season, was held to just 17 points on Monday night.
Turning Point:
The turning point in the game came in the third quarter when the Bulls went on a 15-0 run to cut the Kings' lead to single digits. White was instrumental in this run, scoring 8 points during the stretch. The Bulls continued to chip away at the lead in the fourth quarter and eventually took the lead for good with just over two minutes remaining.
Looking Ahead:
This win was a much-needed boost for the Bulls, who are currently seventh in the Eastern Conference. They will look to build on this momentum as they continue their push for a playoff spot. The Kings, on the other hand, will need to regroup and find a way to close out close games if they want to reach the playoffs for the first time in 16 years.
