With the Chicago Bulls’ season on the line, Coby White stepped up and gave Michael Jordan-like performance against the Atlanta Hawks. Like many others who saw the game, Zach LaVine recognized how his teammate just played his heart out on the court.
Just recently, the Bulls got the 131-116 victory over Atlanta to secure a playoff spot via the Play-In Tournament. White posted 42 points by connecting 15 of his 21 attempts from the field, nine rebounds, six assists, and two steals. DeMar DeRozan made 22 points, while Nikola Vucevic tallied a double-double of 24 points and 12 rebounds.
The Hawks, meanwhile, had four of their five starters score more than 20 points. Dejounte Murray dropped a 30-point performance and Trae Young had 22 points and 10 assists. Clint Capela and Bogdan Bogdanovic had 22 and 21 points, respectively.
The win helped Chicago get one step closer to the playoffs, granted they beat a Miami Heat team without Jimmy Butler in it. If they do, they get the chance to face the Boston Celtics in the first round. The Hawks, on the other hand, are eliminated and will face tough Trae Young-related decisions during the offseason.
