The Chicago Bulls secured a narrow victory over the San Antonio Spurs on Monday night, overcoming a resilient Spurs squad in a game that went down to the wire at the United Center.
Final score: Bulls 112, Spurs 108. The Bulls, now 7-3, improved to 6-0 at home, while the Spurs dropped to 7-3 overall, snapping their two-game winning streak.
Chicago jumped to a 64-63 halftime lead, fueled by Zach LaVine's 28 points and Nikola Vucevic's double-double of 22 points and 12 rebounds. The Spurs, led by Victor Wembanyama's 25 points and 10 blocks, mounted a comeback in the fourth quarter but fell short after a late Bulls run.
DeMar DeRozan sealed the win with clutch free throws, finishing with 24 points. The victory extends Chicago's home dominance, a key factor in their early-season surge.
Spurs coach Gregg Popovich praised his team's effort but noted defensive lapses in the paint. The Bulls next face the Hornets on Wednesday.
